I had been intrigued by the discoverer rugged treks since they came out but could not find much helpful info on how they performed. I use my truck for hunting, camping, and for drives off the beaten path whenever I can.
My last Ram I had two sets of AT3s on it and loved them but wanted something a little more aggressive. I ordered the discoverer rugged treks from tire track and installed them myself (one of few perks of being a dealership tech lol). The tires didn't take an absurd amount of weight to balance which was surprising since they are a beefy tire with good treads. I went with stock size (275/65R18) as I don't need bigger tires and went with standard load as I also don't need LT tires for how I'm using the truck at this time.
I took the truck to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for a week of camping there and the trip total came out to around 1600 miles when we were done.
On the highway the tires make very little noise which surprised me as I thought there might be more, but they do have a very slight wander to them (not surprised there because of the tread pattern) but overall a very good and comfortable tire on the highway at speeds of 65-75mph. Dry pavement performance is good and also on wet roads the tires handled well with no concerns. I did a lot of driving in mud and dirt on the many ORV and forest service roads in the U.P. and the discoverer rugged treks really tackled that great! I am very happy with these tires and looking forward to getting them dirty again! Also looking forward to see how they preform in the snow this Northern Ohio winter.
