Hey, everyone,

I've researched these forums and the web for countless hours before installing a leveling kit and 275/65 tires. I could never explicitly find images or answers about the configuration I wanted, so I hope this helps someone out there. My 2022 Ram Big Horn is primarily a road queen, so my main goal was to improve its appearance without significantly degrading its performance. After picking it up, I got exactly what I envisioned and couldn't be happier.

Tire Selection
I kept the stock 20x9 wheels because I didn't want an offset. I chose the 275/65 since they are theoretically the same width as the standard 275/55 (~10.8"). I wanted symmetric tire height without stuffing the wheel well, and this size is perfect; there is still plenty of space. The stock 275/55 is ~31.9", and the 275/65 is ~34.1". No modifications were necessary except for the leveling kit. There is no rubbing at a complete turn in either direction, in drive or reverse.

I was between the BFG KO3 and Falken A/T4W for a long time. After watching many YouTube videos and reading reviews, I chose Falken. The deciding factors were road noise and the environment. I live in the Midwest and need something that performs well in snow and ice, and the A/T4W seemed like the best option. I got it up to highway speed and noticed no road noise at speeds over 30 MPH; road noise at 30 MPH and below was barely noticeable. For a Load E tire, they do not handle stiff.
