I run 305/45r22 on stock Laramie rims. I leveled the front with 2 inch motofab spacers. No rub at all. I added 2 inch wheel spacers and had a slight rub when going in reverse on the small “mud flap”looking piece behind the front tires. I took them off and no rub what so ever. If that helps anyone.

Went from terra grapplers (305) on my big horne to ridge grapplers (also 305) on my limited now. Holy crap. Much rougher ride and noisy. I should have stuck with terras again. Are at3's as loud at ridge grapplers??

Did you go from an XL to a LT tire? My 305/55R20 Ridge Grapplers are nearly as smooth riding as the stock tires. They are XL's.

No, they are 305/45/22 still xl. I don't know, I hear both sides from people but these are definitely louder than my terra's and stock goodyears. Not sure I will keep them on there.

Yeah, the Ridge Grapplers are louder than stock but for me it's a worthwhile tradeoff because I like how they look. I certainly understand wanting a quiet ride.

Right, all about trade offs! I do love the look of them but willing to lose a bit of the aggressive look to have a quieter smoother ride :)

After reading through this thread it sounds like Michelin Defenders are still the best compromise of ride quality, cabin noise and performance in less than optimal conditions.

AT3 are very quiet, handle great on wet and dry

If I listen really really closely, I can hear the faintest hum from our new AT3's (Toyo Open Country). And damn these are some good tires, especially after living with the stock Goodyears for the last year. 🙂

Are you guys running lt or xl? I want the bigger tires without lt feeling.

I concur; from what I’ve seen there’s not a huge difference in noise. Plus I doubt it’s noticeable unless you’re sitting in silence in your truck while you drive.. which is weird to begin with imo . Always gotta have the radio going or a podcast

That was my take-away too. I ordered a set of Defender LTX's in 305/45/R22 today so I'll be able to weigh in with my opinion soon.

I'm switching from BFG Advantage T/A's which were really good for the first 6 months but now seem to be giving up way too much traction in wet conditions for my taste.
They have around 30K miles on them now and two are almost down to the wear bar. I drive alot but they are easy miles so I stretch out my oil changes which also stretches out how often I rotate the tires. I really miss my unlimited rotate, balance and alignment package from Tire Kingdom!
