I'm using Cooper Discoverer A/TW Tires and love them. Handle well in winter and quiet in summer.

Lots of different tires being used by RamForum members.

Your choice depends on your truck and truck usage.

Will you be off-road and do you need the ability to cross rocky/sandy/muddy terrain?

What about wet traction? Is it important to you?

What about road driving? Is this most of your driving and do you want a quiet tire?

What about tire wear? Do you want 40K or more out of your tires?

These are currently on my truck, new tires when I bought it. So far they are great on wet and dry roads, we'll see what their like in the snow. If we get any this year........?



If it's me buying new tires this is my choice (**LET THE RIDICULING START**)

I've run these tires and I also have a lot of friends that use them too. I haven't had or seen any issues with them (aside from trashing your rig on a wheeling adventure in the Rockies), and they last just as long as a name brand tire. Yes they are a "Retread" No they are not like the ones you see scattered all over the highways.

I am running the Nitto EXO graplers. They are 4 peak snow rated and I have been getting great wear out of them. Been lots of reports of issues with the BFG's on the HD trucks not wearing well. Also the same with the Goodyear Wrangler duratracs. What works on a 1/2 ton doesn't always works well on a 3/4 - 1 ton so keep that in mind.
