I like Toyo and right now many ram dealers are having the buy 3 get 1 free deal. I got 4 new Toyo RT's in 35x12.5-17 mounted and balanced for $1120.95

My 35" Kenda Klever RTs were $234/each installed...
So far I'm super impressed with them.

You will get 1 million different answers on this thread.... So here's mine.

Mickey Thompson Baja ATZP3 Hybrids. Currently $350ea (ish) but I found them on sale for $200ea when I bought them last year. 100% US owned/operated/manufactured.

Toyo R/T all day.

I’ve been really happy with my the Venom Power Terra Hunter X/T’s that I put on a little over a year and a half ago. Prices have gone up a bit though. I got my set for $850, but they seem to be right around $1070 for a set of 4 now.

What kind of tires are you looking for? All-terrain, Muds, Hybrids? I had BFG KO2's and Micky Thompson ATZ P3, both were good by I slightly preferred the Mickey Thompsons.

BTW Mickey Thompson have two new tires in there Baja Boss line which look very good.

AT or hybrid...balance between aggressive look and not-too-rough ride. City/fwy truck

Stock black power wagon wheels.

Thanks! Couldn’t tell from the picture.

I’m in search of something to swap out the stock warlock wheels. I like the look but obviously the bolt pattern on that won’t work.

I have 33x12.50 Federal Xplora RTs and I’ve been really impressed with them, they were about 200ish dollars each when I bought them a few months ago.

I’m new to the big tire world, but in my opinion the road noise is probably a touch worse than other RT, XTs and ATs- they do howl, but I personally like the road noise and its not loud enough to bother me, but not sure your preference on road noise. They also did great in snow, ice, and mud spots, and since I have a 2WD that impressed me even more. They are load range E tires and as such are much rougher than the 17” P rated tires I had previously, but I expected that so it doesn’t bother me

These tires aren’t for everyone but at the price point they’ve been great for me so far. If everything keeps going good I’d happily throw on another set of them down the road

As for wear, I’ve drove about 8000 miles on them and haven’t noticed any wear. The way I see it is if these 800 dollar tires last me half the distance that 1600 dollar tires do I’d be satisfied



This is when they were new, I don’t have any good tire pictures with them on the truck currently

I'm a dedicated BFGoodrich AT KO2 user. The 'Swiss Army Knife's of All Terrains....good at everything, still quiet even with most tread gone, decent mileage life. I have cut sidewalls on rocks (& corn stalks) yet never lost a pound of air. Will definitely be the replacement tires for my new 2500 when it needs tires.

I was looking at bigger tires eventually. I was wondering if tire size and gear ratio changes are a thing?

Yes changing to taller tires will make you want to go to numerically higher gears. I have 2020 6.4 with 4.10’s and felt a difference (loss) of power when going to 35’s. The bigger you go the more important proper gearing will be.

These are interesting, I thought they were KO2’s at first glance. Looks like they stole most of the tread pattern...

All mentioned above are Good to Decent tires. I've ran Nitto Terra graps g2 on my 04 1500 and nitto ridge graps on my 95 2500 cummins. Now I have toyo AT lll Es on the diesel. Have not run them yet but I hear they are way better than the nittos in snow and rain
I will report
