What tires do you run? 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 4x4, What tires do you guys run?
Time for me to get new tires for the first time on this truck and need to know opinions on what you guys like or dislike?

I run Cooper Discoverer ATPs on my '02 D'max 2500 4x4. I =think= they're a model made by Cooper for Discount Tire, but are probably available at other shops under a different model name. So far, I like them.

I have 2015 Ram 2500 Cummins and recently got Falken Wildpeak AT3 on mine. So far very happy with them. Quiet and smooth and have towed at 80 miles each way with them so far.

Good question!
I'm still running the OEM's,
NEXEN RODIAN
LT235/80R17
I'm also interested in the recommendations for when I'm in the market for some new sneakers?

I have been running the Michelin LT275/70R18 Defender LTX M/S highway tread, as I don't have 4WD. Had them on my previous truck so when the originals wore out on this truck I purchased them again. Very pleased, quiet and wearing well.
Happy Campin....

Goodyear Wrangler 275/70R18 with the Kevlar sidewalls. Had them on both my 2017 and 2020 F350’s. Towed my Durango thousands of miles with both trucks and never experienced any problems.

Mines a Ford F350 but I run Yokohama Geolander A/T's 275x65x20 but they come in many sizes. Great wear in the neighborhood of 50K pulling my 5W most of the miles.

Another Ford guy, but I like the Michelin LTX AT2. I did not like the OEM Continentals on my '17 F250.

I have a 2012 Ram 2500 CTD and am also running Cooper Discoverer ATPs. I’ve been happy with them.

The Ram diesels eat tires! Especially if you tend to lean on the throttle a bit. My 2017 came with Firestones which simply melted away. The Goodyear wranglers I mounted next were much better but were done in under 20,000 miles. A set of Generals with a more highway oriented tread, were quite good. In general, I buy whatever is offered at the best price (Firestones excluded). If a 400 dollar tire lasted twice as long as a 200 dollar tire, I might buy it but, so far, I have seen no evidence that they will. When I see a smokin' hot deal on tires for my truck, I'll buy them and store them until I need them. I have a set of 275-70-18's in the shop now which won't be put on until August or so but which were too cheap to pass up. GD

GD This is why I went with Michelins, my tire guy recommended them, as according to him they seem to be the only ones that can handle the power these new Diesels produce. I had over 30K miles on my Michelins when I traded my '17 in. Luckily the new truck came with Michelins. |

My Ford also came with the Michelin LTX AT2, 55k miles later still have 7/32 left. Probably 20k with the trailer,
When tine comes, that's what I'll get again.

Michelin LTX AT2’s all the way. I had set on my truck and got 110,000 miles out of them. Still had 4-5mm of tread left but too weather checked for my liking while towing a camper.
I needed new ones but couldn’t get any as tire suppliers couldn’t get stock in my size. Went with Nokian Rotiiva AT plus’. Nice tire, quiet and my buddy has them on his Ram 3500.
