It’s definitely a tread pattern difference. I cannot speak to the compound of the rubber but it’s possible it’s the same just in a less aggressive design (at3w VS at3wa) And you’re right, they are very heavy. That is the only reason why I hesitate to purchase them again. They are phenomenal otherwise. On my last truck I had AT3w 275/60/20 and LT285/70/17 with no regrets on highway or Offroad.

What's the smoothest & quietest 33" or 34" tire I can get on my stock 20's

On tire size .com I just saw these Toyo at3 305/50R20 120T XL BSW .
Toyo Open Country A/T III 305/50R20
So do you have them? How are they on highway, I do a lot of highway with the truck, and would rather not have loud tires either. Really trying to thread the needle.
Thanks

Not sure about the quietness or ride quality of the Toyos but if those 305/50R20s are only 50 lbs., that’s incredible. That link you sent also showed they were a 65,000 mile tire. My 295/60R20 Falken Wildpeaks are 70 lbs.On tire size .com I just saw these Toyo at3 305/50R20 120T XL BSW .
They list it at 50 pounds, I will find out more info. today.Toyo Open Country A/T III 305/50R20

The new Toyo AT3 looks to be great. I would definitely give the a shot. I think they took a page from Falken when making these. I love how light they are. I have not yet driven them... I might buy them. Still debating on how I want the truck setup.On tire size .com I just saw these Toyo at3 305/50R20 120T XL BSW .

My short list:
Milestar Patagonia MT (275/65/20) 34x11
Toyo AT3 (275/65/20) 34x11
Goodyear Ultra Terrain (285/65/20) 34.5x11.5
Maxxis RAZR MT(275/70/18) 33.5x11.3
Nitto Ridge Grappler (285/70/18) 33.9x11.5
Mickey-Thompson Deegan 38 (305/70/18) 35x12
I’m holding off on wheels, tires, and lift till next year. Waiting to see if there will be a 4” lift compatible with my Eco diesel. If not I’m stuck at a 2-2.5” Also moving across country to a warmer climate with no snow. Tire choice will be impacted by that.
This may help your choice in tire. I would say give the Toyo’s a go.
Huge jump in weight and price from 50 to 55. Not worried to much about the price increase as they will be on for a while. Also huge difference in the 295/60 r20. 60 pounds and 383 per tire

Yeah that's a real one.. looks good.
I went with the AT3 305/50R20 120T XL and absolutely love them. Really quite and the ride is perfect. My last tires I had were the Nitto Terra grabbers same size but a 10ply. The ride was horrible but towing was much better.On tire size .com I just saw these Toyo at3 305/50R20 120T XL BSW .

Not 20's, but my Hankook AT2's are pretty dang good for an A/T tire.
I didn't really notice any difference going from the stock Bridgestones.

Tire dealer was useless ..... How big can I go without rubbing with 18" OEM rims - 2020 Big Horn Off Road Pkg with Air Suspension? What if I put 20" wheels on, not wanting spacers and all that?

I put 275/60/20 Perelli all-terrain plus on my stock Laramie wheels A few months ago They are definitely quieter than the Bridgestone that came on my Laramie 4 x 4 sport! I just recently put fuel 20 x 9 sledge wheels +1 offset on my truck. Ride and drive is very smooth and quiet on these tires. I have not taken it off road but they hold up well in the rain! Stock suspension. No rubbing at all.

Thank you.
If you want to stick with your 18s the 275/70/18 is good. Same size that comes on the rebel and varies from 33.2 inches to 33.5 inches. A 34 inch tall tire is about the maximum and that would be a 285/70/18. If you’re at all serious about Off-roading I would stick with the 18 inch wheels.
That said if you’re going to move up to a 20 inch wheel the 275/60/20 is a 33 inch tire it was the factory size on the last generation ram half ton. Beyond that there is the 275/65/20 which is a 34 inch tire. Personally I am going with the 285/60/20 which is a 33.5 inch tire.
If you’re not lifting or leveling I truly would recommend staying at a 33 inch to 33.5 inch tire at most.
Do you have a lift/level installed? I have 2019 Longhorn 4x4 and I'm considering putting these on it. I do not have lift/level and I don't want to rub. Do you rub any?

I have 275/60R20 Michelin Defender ltx ms on stock 20in wheels and they are fantastic. I stayed one size under LT to keep the weight and harshness down.

Just seeing this post. My assumptions are you want nothing that looks aggressive. So Nitto Terra Grapplers G2 would be a great choice.
I have these Falken Wildpeaks AT3Wa’s on my truck. I don’t even understand how these quantify as an AT. Looks like a car tire to me. The AT3W’s would have been a lot better or the Duratracs.
