Tire recommendation please

[Coody113]

2020 1500 Laramie Sport. The stock Bridgestones Dueler H/L's have 24K on them and are almost done. Pretty disappointing considering I baby them, I rotate at every oil change (4K-5K miles), and keep pressures where they should be. Anyway, I'm looking for an all season, sport profile in the original size 275/50/20. My preferences are low noise, comfort, good treadwear, and I'd prefer not to take a hit on gas mileage. I don't go offroading, so my typical use is daily in town and highway

driving. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I have a 2020 Ram as well. Im pretty aggressive driver and I got about 20 out of my Factory tires. I moved to Nitto Terra Grapplers and I've put 46k on them and they are half tread. I've gotten 65k out of a set on a F250. They are great tires and very minimal if any road noise

Terra Grapplers were definitely on my list too!

I’m reading about the Michelin Cross Climate 2 and they look amazing. Checks all the boxes for a year round street tire where you might see some snow. I’m just not seeing the size I need. Anyone know if they’re going to be available in bigger sizes?

Based on their statement that the newly expanded size offering (2021) now covers 76% of the cars and crossovers made, I don't see this being a tire for trucks. Especially since they've got that market covered with other models already.

I just put the Michelin Defender M/T 275/55 r20s on my truck. I have only gone a few miles but it feels weird, steering feels lighter, as opposed to my Nexen factory tires. Anyone else notice a huge difference. Im thinking Im gonna like the way the truck rides now. Tires are a softer compound than those nexens. Anyone else have any input?
Wrong Tires listed above. They are Michelin Defender LTX M/S
After driving around today they are quiet and I really like them. Guess I got used to driving on the rocks with the name nexen on them. (Thank you To BowersFJ for pointing out my mistake so subtely.)

LOVED my Defenders!

I have these on my Passat and I think they are great tires for my car, but I don't think Michelin has any plans on making them for trucks

Recently I’ve run Michelin LTX AT2, Firestone Destination, BF Goodrich A/T KO2 and Cooper Discover AT3.

BFG’s are a nice looking tire but wet and snow traction really decreased after the first 10,000 miles.

The Cooper’s are by far my favorite tire in all conditions and they last incredibly long for an A/T tire. Ride is smooth and quiet. Price was very good too. I’ve heard of guys getting up to 100,000 miles on those tires.

Always been a Michelin LTX M/S guy on my previous Grand Cherokees. Went with the plus sized Michelin AT2's on the Ram. Does well for what I need them to do. Not as quiet as the LTX/Defenders, but that's to be expected as the tread is quite a bit more agressive.

For 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie Sport, I recommend the Michelin Defender LTX M/S or Continental CrossContact LX20 in the size 275/50/20. Both of these tires offer a quiet, comfortable ride with good treadwear and minimal impact on gas mileage.
The Continental CrossContact LX20 is another solid option, providing a smooth and quiet ride, with a focus on durability. These tires should meet your preferences for comfort and treadwear, ensuring you get good value for your investment.

Either that's a /60/ or a //22?

Check out Tire Rack's information for tires. The site has a lot of information listing test results and customer reviews concerning what attributes are important to you. For the issues important to me, Michelin LTX and Continental's TerrainContact HT were the top choices. Went with the Continental's due to price. So far, I'm very satisfied with them. Used the savings to go with a bigger tire than OEM's (285/60/R20)

How are you liking the Contis? I had both of those on my list, but the Defenders were not available. Ended up going with Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 today as my second choice. I think Tire Rack had them in an SUV touring category instead of the highway one, but reviews seem really good. We’ll see. Not crazy about how they look.

Totally agree...COOL LOOKING is far more important than ride quality, noise, wet and dry traction, safety, etc. We should all buy tires solely based on the way they make your truck look...totally agree

M/T is working good for me,

I just put Nitto 420Vs on and can't say enough good about them. I originally wanted Toyo Proxes but they are backordered nationwide so I settled for the Nittos. Love them. Super grippy in the corners. Great ride. No noise at all.

Curious if you still feel this way?

I loved them while I had them. I clearly went a different direction and now have 35" A/T lol

I've tried most, used to run the Michelin's and liked them a lot. Then I wanted to try something different, so I bought some Continental Terrain Contact HT. You will thank me if you get them. Better ride, as good in the snow as this type of tire can get, best handling hands down (that's one of my top priorities), very quiet and wear really well. The ONLY thing they lag behind the Michelin's is hydroplaning, not bad but not as good as the Michelin's. Good Luck.

We go from Ca, to Denver and the M/T 's work great I love them.
