Looking to add a 3" leveling kit and an alignment then upgrade tires. Looking for 35" tires that fit the stock factory rims 2019 Ram 1500 Quad 4x4 18" 6 lug new body style.

I need quieter ride, E Rated 12 ply and good wearing. Will be trailering a 25' TT out west and maybe taking a smaller teardrop overland on some trips too.

Thanks. Buying in a couple of weeks so appreciate the wisdom.

What kind of tires are you looking for? A/T? Highway? M/T? Winter?

If A/T tires: General Grabber A/TX or Falken Wildpeak A/TW
Cannot be beat by any other A/T or highway tire if you're going into any wintery situations. Only thing better would be dedicated winter tires. The Grabber A/TX tires are a bit better in mud than the Wildpeaks.
Goodyear Duratracs are decent. Some have luck with Michelins, I did not. Terrible in snow compared to Hankook A/TM tires, Wildpeaks, or Grabbers.

I am in the same dilemma (probably not 35s, though)! I have been a die hard BF Goodrich AT KO2 user on my last 2-3 vehicles. Now, however I am leaning towards the Grabber A/TX. I like the KO2s but I know too many people who swear by the Grabbers so I am going to give them a try! Still, though, depends on what kind of tire you are looking for. Road noise will go up with the ATs and your gas mileage (not that anyone really cares) will drop a little bit.

I have 22" stock rims and a 2.5 inch lift (almost 45 inches to fender lip) and I have ordered an Eibach kit (like the Bilstein 5100's) to remove the cheap spacer and keep the height. I am looking for tires. Unfortunately 22"s limit my choices, tried selling the rims locally but not alot of interest up here in Vermont. So I found a GREAT deal on a set of Nitto MTs ...too good to pass up, but at the same time I really didnt want that aggressive of a tire. I am considering smaller brands and most have actually good reviews... mostly 4+ out of 5 over several sites. Wondering if anyone has tried for themselves brands like Haida, Lanvigator, RBP, Suretrac, Crosswind, Venom, or Radar ties? I need a 285/55r22. I know Nitto, Yokahama and Toyo or General are all 'better' brands but going from $200 a tire to $400 or $500 or even $600 a tire seems silly. Unless they are unsafe and/or absolute junk even getting 30k miles out of them would better than 50k miles out of something three times the price.
