The RAM 1500 has distinguished itself from the competition with its coil-spring rear suspension, delivering a ride quality that rivals luxury sedans. That refined ride deserves tires that complement it, whether you're towing a heavy trailer across the interstate, exploring backcountry roads, or just enjoying the daily commute in your Laramie or Limited trim. Here are the best tires for every RAM 1500 mission.
For highway comfort and towing, few tires beat the Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2. Its exceptional tread life, low noise levels, and stable handling under heavy loads make it the perfect partner for the RAM's smooth ride. The Continental TerrainContact H/T is another excellent highway choice with strong wet-weather capability and a comfortable ride. The Goodyear Assurance MaxLife lives up to its name with an industry-leading 85,000-mile warranty and solid all-season performance. For budget highway tires, the Cooper Discoverer HTP II and the Firestone Destination LE3 both deliver dependable performance at accessible prices.
All-terrain tires remain the most popular choice for RAM 1500 owners, and the options have never been better. The Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT is a new hybrid tire that combines aggressive off-road traction with refined highway manners. The BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 continues to dominate with its proven durability and winter capability. The Toyo Open Country AT III and the Falken Wildpeak AT3W both excel in wet conditions while providing strong off-road performance. The Nitto Ridge Grappler offers a more aggressive look and slightly better off-road bite than most all-terrains while keeping road noise manageable.
RAM Rebel and TRX owners need tires that match their trucks' aggressive personalities. The Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT delivers extreme off-road grip with surprisingly tolerable road manners. The Nitto Trail Grappler is a mud-terrain that many TRX owners run as a daily tire thanks to its relatively refined on-road behavior. For maximum off-road performance, the BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 and the Maxxis Razr MT are both proven performers in the most challenging conditions.
The RAM 1500 commonly uses 275/65R18, 275/55R20, and 285/45R22 tire sizes depending on trim and wheel package. The larger 22-inch sizes typical of Laramie and Limited trims can be more expensive and harder to find, but Ship.Tires stocks all available options from every major brand. Always check your tire's load rating against your truck's placard, especially when towing, to maintain full payload and towing capacity.
