Tire/Size recommendation

[rjhorn67]

Hi - My Daughter has a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie with air on the back for towing. She's not a fan of the look of the 285/45/22's as they are very small in the wheel well. I was thinking 285/50/22 or as big as I can go without major mods to avoid rubbing. Certainly able to minor tweaking in the well but nothing major.

She primarily drives city/highway and about every other week pulls a 3 horse trailer. Ride comfort is important to her but she also needs a good AT tire as she trailers offroad (mainly trails and fire roads) so a tire that can handle that as well. I've been looking at the Michelin Defender LTX M/S and Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent.

Any opinions and recommendations will be appreciated.

TIA

Thanks for this. Just added this to mine. went with MT Baja Boss 285/55R22. Got a thump-thump sound at full lock. I will try the heat gun. Love the ride

I'm running 275/50/22's and they barely touch a bit at full lock, otherwise I dig the overall change. Gonna add 1.5"s KSP spacers soon. Also I'm rockin' Continental Terrain Contacts.

Thanks for the replies. After pouring through these threads and youtubing I think I've decided to go with the Yokohama Geolander AT. Unfortuntly going to a 285/50 or 285/55 this tire is only available in LT. These sizes are hard to find period for the 22" wheel I have found. At least in the handful of tires that made the short list.

Are the LT tires that much harder of a ride verses non-LT?

Good luck with your tires. I just wanted to say I love the ride from my Mickey Thompson's
