Good street tires in 285/45 R22?

[moparrob]

Hey all,

My 2022 Laramie 1500 is only used for street and highway driving here in SoCal where it is normally pretty hot and dry, and I do not do any off road driving. My max trailer weight, which is probably twice a year, is only 2000 lbs.

The stock tires are Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season in size 285/45 R22 114H XL. They lasted about 30,000 miles and I am looking to replace them. Does anyone have any recommendations for a different or a better (longer treadwear or lower cost) option?

I have seen the Michelin Defender LTX mentioned, but they seem pricey as well. Thanks in advance for the input.

Ive never ran street tires, but have read a lot of great reviews on the michelin ltx’s. Seems they would fit your usage very well.

Tires are one thing i would not cheap out on.

OP, you don’t seem to like the Pirelli?
I have them. Same size and at 6000mls I can see wear on front drivers side. ( alignment is good, apparently according to my dealer). Could be camber of roads in NC or maybe heat? If yours worn on 30k maybe that’s it.

I’ve had several sets of Michelins. I never got less than 60K miles out of them.

I just installed 285/45/22 Michelin Defender LTX on my 2025 Sport Gt. They are worth every penny, by far the quietest tire I’ve ever owned. Wet traction is great. Spend the money you won’t be sorry
