Advice for Tires on 2023 Limited

Trippi · Apr 7, 2023

Hi
I have a 2023 Limited and really want to replace the tires with something slightly more aggressive in look...a little larger to fill the well but most important, with the least amount of road noise. Just came out of a 2020 Rebel but was growing weary of the road noise on the Duratecs. I would like to stay in the 20" wheel...no real off roading.

Any advice or even a link to a thread would be appreciated. I have been reading all of the tire threads but most seem to discuss 22" and 18".

I’ve been really happy with these BFG Trail Terrains in 275/60/20 (33”). Smooth and quiet, and handle off road just fine.

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback they look good. Never heard of these before...how are they with rain?

I personally really like the newer Nitto Recon Grapplers and Toyo RT Trail tires! When searching for sizes try to find tires in standard load or D load for the best ride quality. One in particular that I’d recommend all day long is the Nitto Recon Grappler in 315/60r20 size! It’s a 35x12.50r20 tire that is standard load (the only standard load I’m aware of in this size) and extremely light for a 35” tire! You can definitely fit 35s on your limited with a simple spacer or if you have air suspension they make leveling links as well. That’s what I would do in your case

I am very happy with my Falken Wildpeak A/T3W P 275 /55 R20 117T. They are quiet, ride well and look great and are mountain/snowflake rated as well.

I haven't them on my Ram, but I agree. Great tire.

They’ve been great, haven’t had an issue where the truck didn’t feel sure-footed.

I have a 2021 Limited, still very happy with this set up:

I do like this tire. That is stock size correct? Any thoughts that you wish you would have gone slightly larger?

The shop I went to for my tonneau cover also sells tires and recommended these as well but only talked about stock size. He quoted 290 a tire plus so came to like 1400 OTD. I do like the look of this tire. I do have air suspension. 35" seems rather large or larger than I am used to. My rebel I think had 33's? Does this size wreck fuel economy? Sorry for silly questions.

It is the stock size - I did not want to go any larger as I wanted to keep weight down and keep the truck "stock" since it is a lease. I am different than most folks it seems as I would actually prefer to have a 17" wheel with a tire with more sidewall but I think the 20's are a good compromise for looks, function etc. since I am not doing any serious off-roading anyway.

Agreed. I had the rebel and never did offroading like I thought I would. Mine is a lease too but I have no problem moving away from stock if I like it and makes sense. I do miss the stance/height of the Rebel but not sure I want to do a lift.

Yeah I mean 35s are pretty big but they fit on our trucks with just a level! They would look and ride amazing with that extra sidewall and standard load rating. There’s definitely potential for it to lower fuel economy, but with them being so light weight compared to all other 35s I bet you’ll see less of a decrease than most people see. Hard to say really. My best guess would be probably 1.5-2mpg less than you get now which honestly doesn’t really add up that much when you do the math. I think it’s worth the look and comfort personally

One last thing...I live in snow country. Assuming they are rated well for those conditions? Is this the size and tire on your truck now?

Do you have a link to the Recons in a SL 315/60r20? The tallest SL size I thought they made was 275/65/20 (34").

If you just go on nittos website they’re there

Road noise is undetectable below 40 mph, negligible above that (Low 90’s is as far as I’ve gone).

I‘m about 7000 miles in on this set up and wouldn’t change a thing.

Ehhh to be honest I haven’t heard the best things about them for rain/snow. In my experience the best tires for that are either mild all terrains with tons of siping, or surprisingly mud terrains. It seems like a common complaint with the “hybrid” style tires is they’re not great in wet conditions. I had Toyo RT (hybrid style) tires before and they were bad in the rain compared to my Toyo MTs I have now. I’m running 37x13.50r18 Toyo MTs now haha so definitely bigger than a level can fit

absolute minimum lift to fit my wheel setup without cutting the bumper or cab would be 5.5” lift. I’m at 5.7” lift and can barely fit one finger between the tire and the bumper, the tire and the cab, and less than 1 finger between the tire and the knuckle lol so I’m pretty much maxed out without hacking the body up…but I’ve never once had my tires rub anything even at full steering lock and articulating the suspension a bit
