Half ton tire recommendations
« on: March 20, 2019, 12:43:51 PM »
Anyone have suggestions for a good tire for a 2015 Ram 1500 4x4? What I’m looking for is a traction tire but not necessarily a mudder, quiet, long lasting, and 10 ply I would think so not too many flats.

I've been happy with the BFG all terrain

Toyo M55s.   They aren’t cheap.   I’ve ran them for hmmmm 25+ years now.  3 different Dodges and one Ford.   It’s what the loggers use(d) almost exclusively.   I think they are the best of the best.

Been running Duratracs and happy with them - smooth ride, good snow traction, sidewall not bulletproof.

My son has had surprisingly good snow traction with the new BFG Mud T/A KM3 with much stronger sidewalls.  I'm going to give them a try next time.   I didn't think they would be that great on snow - not sure on ice - but he was plowing a couple feet in his Gen 1 Cummins without a problem.

Currently running the at3 but not incredibly impressed.  I'll be going back to the Bridgstone Dueler Revo's on the next set and doubt I'll be doing any further branching out

I really liked my BFG all terrain TA's when they were newer.  As they've worn I find myself spinning trying to climb hills on the logging roads.  They don't do so well on the loose gravel.
YMMV.

In the last 5 years I've run cooper stt's, toyo mt's, and falken wildpeak at3w's.  Not even considering price the Falkens are my top choice out of the 3, so if you factor in value its the falkens by a mile for me.  Toyo,s are hands down the worst. :twocents:
