New tire question

[RamGuy18]

hey guys I have a few questions. I need new tires on my 2018 ram crew cab big horn. I have 18 inch wheels and want to go as big as possible but I do plow snow so I don’t want it to rub with the weight of the plow. I want all terrains with the most longevity and good snow traction. I’ve been looking at Nitto durra grappler(not really a at but I heard was decent in snow and lasted long). The Nitto Terra grappler g2 looks good but I had a pair of og terra grapplers and they were **** after 25k mikes on my old truck. Any advice you guys could give me would be great. I’m using factory 18inch wheels, all stock no leveling kit. Also I don’t want to inflate them to 80psi like I’m forced to do with my factory tires. How do I go about turning the tire low air sensor off or turn it to a lower psi? Thanks so much!

I’ve always had BF Goodrich Radial AT KO2 tires and they were decent in the snow. I’m trying a pair of ProComp AT Sport tires that I got a great deal on from 4 Wheel Parts. So far the rain traction has been great and I’ve been able to pull a 3000 lb boat and trailer up a fairly slick boat launch and haven’t spun the tires or needed to put my 2013 1500 Sport in 4 wheel drive. They’re quieter than the BF Goodrich tires too. Plus they come with a 65000 mile warranty. So far they’ve been great but I haven’t had any chances to test them in snow yet.


I might get knocked down but you better be gone when I get up!

2013 Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab, 4” Rough Country lift, 35x12.5x17 ProComp AT Sport tires, ProComp shocks and struts, Modify Street 2019 style polished black projector headlights, 3.92 differentials

BFG ko2’s get my vote. They check all the boxes for what you want in a tire.

little slick in the rain on pavement, can’t win them all

Thanks, I’m not a big bfg fan. I’ve had them on past trucks and they haven’t held up very long. They are good first year in snow but by second year they are no good. Those pro comps will be about the same I’ve had them both. The warranty on the tire means zero unless you read the fine print. Good luck ever trying to collect on it . They make you jump through hoops. I religiously rotate my tires every 5k mikes. I have 31k on my truck and have rotated the factory tires 6 times. They are 100% shot!!!!!! I want a tire to last 40-50k with the proper care but have good snow traction. I would like something a little bigger than factory but don’t want to go too big as the plow does bring down the front end.

Plowed snow for around 20 years. Trust me. big tires and snow plowing dont mix. If your going to be serious about plowing get yourself a set of dedicated winter tires. Then swap out to your summer set.

You will get 3-4 good winters out of them. Depending on how much dry pavement you travel .


You want small diameter tires for plowing. Stock or even step down a size. . I used to run 245s and 265s on my plow trucks. The small diameter helps you control your power better starting and stopping. And makes the whole process alot less stressful on your drivetrain.

The best tires we ever found for plowing were just run of the mill winter style recaps from a local tire place. Soft compound, grabs better on snow and ice. And the recaps are cheap. We only paid about $100 a piece for them. They wont last long running in the summer on dry pavement though.
