Mine sucked so bad in the wet weather that I got rid of them before I had 30,000 on them! I almost went with the Falken, but they were much heavier tire than the same BFG KO2. So I went with the BFG KO2, and so far I love them. I can actually drive in the wet weather without 4wd auto now!!!

After using many different tire brands and models, professionally as well as personal, I want nothing but NITTO on my vehicles.



Which ones do you use on your ram ? Thanks

I have had 4 Rams in 13 years, best tire was Michelin. Had a set of Coopers and wanted to like them and a set of Nitto that were just to heavy and noisy. Currently have Kuhmo as they were on the truck. I was told that I cannot get the Michelin LTX M/S in a 10 ply....and with a 3500 they will not put lighter tires on. Gonna have to pick something.....

Back in December I got cooper discoverer (older model) 275 70 r18 from Wally world for $680 otd. Great all around except could not be balanced 100% slight vibration at 65mph and I took it to 2 different shops already. Snow, ice, rain, dry weather are all great and a major improvement from original Firestone tires

I have Toyo Open Country AT3, 275/65/R20. (3/4 ton spec tire) Came on the truck when I bought it. Wouldn't be my first choice as they ARE EXPENSIVE. But will say after 60,000 miles they still have decent tread and wear evenly. Not sure if there worth it though..

Looking at either one of the Cooper AT tires or the Yokahoma Geolander as replacement. The geolander might be a great tire for the money at 200bucks each.

Ridge Grappler in factory size LT275/60R20. Best hybrid tire I ever had, goes through almost everything.
Asphalt, dirt, rocks, rain, snow... no issues.

Heavy mud is bad but with enough gas and traction control off you can keep it moving.

This is money well spent!

I currently have the Firestone Destination AT2s that the dealer just put on when I bought my (used) truck. I haven't had them in mud, but all around dry, wet, light-heavy snow they've been good. My plan is to use them for winter when I get new wheels and tires next year. "Best" is a subjective term. Really depends on what you do with your truck. As a former tire tech/sales, the Michelin is the best tire for ride and longevity, but not great off road and pricey. There is always a compromise one way or another.

$200 per new set of Transforce factory take offs. 35-45k per set and no failures in 12 sets, 400k miles.

I voted for P275/55R20 9in wide Bridgestone Dueler H/L they came factory, Run them at 35 psi, these have been the best tire all around when they were new I had allot of noise but they quieted down after 2-3000 miles they corner great and are good in rain, I will buy these again.

I just got these Cooper AT3 4S installed yesterday. Did a 1.25" level on my air ride w/Edgy Mod front links at the same time.

Always been a Michelin guy but thought I would give these a try. We shall see!

you'll be happy with them. Rotation is important with At tires.

A lot has changed since last tally, no surprise imo Coopers are number 1, but I am pleasantly surprised at Michelins rank out at number two. I do run those on the wifes SUV but never really considered them for a truck tire, guess I should look again.

I love white letters out, it's a thing, pure truck ****. I think whoever you order from should have that common knowledge. It's kinda weird, because even BFG only has like 1/2 of these as an option. What tire brands are you interested in? Does pirelli make a truck tire?
