I have a 2019 ram 1500 with stock tires 275/65/18 what tire can I get or do others recommend that gives me a beefier look without messing with speedometer/odometer I am all stock but since I need new tires anyway I am curious what my options are. Thank you in advance.

Check this out & play around with it. It’s an awesome website tool. Personally, when my tires age out I’m going to downsize the 22” to 20” with 285/55/20 to get more sidewall protection & smoother ride with the air suspension but stay close to the same size overall to not have to mess with speedometer/MPG.

I love the look of the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT. I stuck with the stock 22" rims and have no complaints. It gave me the beefier look I was looking for. Surprisingly quiet and comfortable ride. For a while I toyed with the idea of going with the 285/55/22 for a little more sidewall but it's an LT tire and was nearly double the cost.

How’re you liking them? I’m looking at these or the Nitto Recon Grapplers. 99% on road use, just want something a bit beefier and more 22” wheel protection. I’d get a 305/45/22, I’m installing a Readylift 1.5” level and should be ok clearance wise.

Absolutely LOVE THEM!!! I've been a fan of MT since the 80s when I built my first CJ. I probably have at least 2k miles on them at this point and am very impressed on how they handle in the rain. I'm like you and my pavement princess won't see any true off-road use (I have other toys for that 🙃).
