Welcome to RF!!! Cooper STT 33x12.50. Good tire over all, and I think a couple others have ran them in the snow with good reviews.

Droid Incredible 2 on the move!!!

I've had good luck with my Nitto Terra Grapplers. I have them in 275/65/20 (34's). Have 30k on them and they are wearing nicely, only down by a half of the original tread.

I just saw your introduction thread, are you planning to lift your truck? With a level you should be able to fit 35's, and with the wheels that you have you can fit tires that are 305 mm wide. I don't think you could fit 12.5's without spacers

35's if lifted / leveled will look stuffed IMO . Stock height I would do 33's . I would also do 33's with a level .

My experience on MT tires in the snow ..

Good .. Federal MT
Better ... Kumho KL71 MT
Best .. Toyo MT

With just a level 305/55/20 on your stockers will look good. I agree with what ramhunter said about toyo mt's...imo they are awesome in the snow. Available tire sizes will play a big part in your decision I think

Beginning of the year tire prices went up, so depending on what you get you area anywhere from $1,000 on the low side to $1,500 if not higher..it sucks..lol

I was running stock size with level on my 3rd gen. Running Cooper Zeon LTZ, great look but none of the road noise had about 25k on them when I traded cant wait to get some $ and get rid of the goodyears on the new truck, the best part- stock size $790 shipped. Just gotta search and save $.

That's a good one too Dave.

Not to hijack but what size tire would be good for 20's on my lowered Ram??
I want a wider tire that still won't hit the A arms at full lock.
