hard to beat Toyo tires but there many good tires including Cooper, Falken, Nitto, BFG and many others. You should name what kind of tires you want ie MT, AT, highway as well as size etc

Unless you tow heavy, a 10 ply tire (load rating E) will be overkill on your truck. Based on your requirements, you might want to look into an AT tire.

I've run Nitto Y& Toyo tires exclusively on my Rams in recent years and have been very happy with those brands.

I have 305/70/18 (35’s) in the Kanati Trail Hog. They are big with the Jeep guys. I am at almost 50k on mine right now and they are finally starting to cause vibrations and need to be changed.

I am looking at the Kanati Armor Hog ATX now. They are their newest and look to be even better. They are a decent priced tire too.

I have had mine in rain, snow, sand, and gravel with no issues at all. My only complain is they are not the quietest tire. That’s from my wife. I have loud exhaust and always have steep on so not an issue for me :)

Every single Ram 1500 owner I know who purchased 10 plies because "they heard they last longer" actually saw shorter lived tread life than plain old passenger car or LT tires. These are guys who didn't really need 10 ply to begin with.

Fallen Wildpeak AT3

It's the highest performing all-terrain on the market currently and has a 3PMS rating for winter traction. It's not super good off-road (has issues in mud) but on-road, it can't be beat.

+1 for the Trail Hogs.
These tires have been great in the winter and at 20,000 miles still look mostly new.
I was going to try Mud Hogs next but I'll be trading it off before I ever need another set.
I saw the new Armor Hogs and think those look like a great option as well...

Since you mention snow, there are a lot of good 4-season tires out there. I don't kid myself that they are as good as an actual snow tire but they do very well compared to all-seasons. They also have the snowflake stamped on the sidewall so they qualify for traction tires/devices in many areas.
