I thought I’d chime in since this thread was really my deciding factor in tire decision. I decided to take advantage of the Mopar “Buy 3 Get 1 for a $1” deal.
I’m running a 2022 Laramie Night Edition, coil suspension, no lift or level. I had about 13,000 on the Pirelli Scorpion Verde. Ram did something right when they chose those over the Goodyears. Definitely a better tire but it’s a truck and those were something I’d run on my SUV. I should also say my driving style is spirited and I spend at least 80% of my time on pavement so I didn’t want anything too extreme.
After much deliberation around weight and reading other reviews about rubbing I decided to take a chance on the AT3s in 305/45r22. The dealership I took it too warned me that they may not fit but I told them to do it anyway and I’m glad I did!
Here’s my honest opinion after 2 days:

Here’s my honest opinion after 2 days:
- Look: HUGE improvement. Lots more stares from folks and even the dealership said they’d start recommending after seeing. I still think a taller sidewall would fill out the wells more but I also love the wide tire. It makes the truck look more planted.
- Road noise: I LOVED the quiet in the can with the Pirellis. The Toyos are NOT silent. There is noticeable road noise even with the radio lowered. Is it bad, heck no. It’s very reasonable for the aggressive nature of the tires. I wanted the rugged look as well as performance so I’ll sacrifice a little noise for that.
- Comfort: Immediately noticeable. Felt more planted on the road and even seemed to absorb more of the road defects. For those wondering I’m running 40 PSI.
- Performance: I’m counting on a good winter this year so will update based on that, as well as wet and ice.
- Rubbing: Drumroll…nothing! Perfection! I may still level the truck in the future but no immediate need! I’ll continue to put it in full lock situations and see if I can get it to run but this far not a single issue.
