Tires for 2500

[Dmopar74]

Wanting to replace my tires with atleast a 295/70/18 up to a 35/12.50/18 but have a few " must haves"

Must be able to handle a 3000lb in bed camper, that gets about 1500 miles a year use

Must he able to work good in dry dusty dirt, beach sand, and gravel roads, but only about 5% is logged off road

Must drive well at 75 mph, esp with camper. I drive this speed every day

I'm logging about 20,000 miles a year, would like to see atleast a year or of Em, preferably two years

Must look tough, yeah I know that's me being vain, but it's my truck and I want it to look bad ass.

Would like to keep it to the lower end of the price spectrum.

I am running 305/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. The older version. I have about 30,000 miles on mine now and they still have 30-40% tread left. They work great traveling on highway and off road although I don't go get too far off. They handle well pulling our camper and with the bed loaded but have no experience with weight like a truck camper. I will definitely buy these again when this set wears out.

For the miles you do, I would look at the Toyo AT2 - their 35" tires are what they call "Extreme" which gives you more aggressive side tread among other things.

Toyos have been known to get some mileage out of them. I had Nitto Trailgraplers and they were soft. 20K miles and almost done.

Toyos are a little harder compound. You will look tough with those ATs too!

The Toyo AT II is a harder tire but the MT seems to be pretty soft and not last that long on a heavy truck. I like my Firestone M/Ts not sure how they do in sand. I drive on gravel daily and they do pick up some rocks which is going to happen with any aggressive tread. We have good luck with Coopers at the shop and are relatively inexpensive

I'm really eyeing the at2's now. Debating between the 295/70/18 and 285/75/18
