The Best Ram 1500 Tires

All you need to know about choosing a tire for your truck

If youā€™re looking for the best RAM 1500 tires, youā€™ve come to the right place. RealTruck has tire experts standing by to help walk you through your decision, whether youā€™re selecting the best RAM 1500 all-weather tires, the best RAM 1500 mud-terrain tires or if youā€™ve got something else in mind. However, before you call in, this post is a great place to start getting your head around your many options, so set a few moments aside before plunging into your final decision among all the tires you can imagine and then some. Whenever youā€™re ready, weā€™ll be here for you.

Why New Tires?

First and foremost, you should know that tires wear out over time, and tread wear isnā€™t always the leading indicator. Over several years, rubber tends to break down, so even if you still have plenty of tread left, you might be due for new tires. Four or five years is a good rule of thumb, so if yours are at least that old, you might want to start considering a replacement set. Aside from age, wear and tear, some people decide to buy a new set of tires for a specific purpose, like off-roading or rock climbing, or even for a particular climate, leading them to search for the best RAM 1500 winter tires. Another reason to swap tires is simply that youā€™ve chosen to get some new wheels, so maybe theyā€™re a different size or youā€™d just like to pair a fresh set of tires with your shiny new wheels.

The Right Tire For Your Truck

These days, tires are custom-built for a variety of activities, so it makes good sense to think carefully about what you intend to do with your truck. If youā€™re mostly using your truck around town and for your daily commute, you wonā€™t need the same sort of tire youā€™d want for crawling rocks and running backcountry trails. You might also want to think about the climate and the season youā€™ll be operating in, as the best RAM 1500 summer tires are going to differ a bit from the best RAM 1500 all-terrain tires. Spend a little time looking into what the tires that appeal to you most are made for, as they could be mud-terrain, all-terrain, highway-terrain or even hybrid-terrain tires, built for multiple applications, or for when you need a crossover model. The right tire can enable your favorite truck-based activities; it can also upgrade your truckā€™s look.

The right tire for your lifestyle

Whether you consider yourself a rock crawler, mud trucker, adventurist, overlander or street trucker, RealTruck has the right tire for your truck or SUV. First take some time to ponder how youā€™ll be using that new set of tires. Consider talking to one of our truck accessory experts who can suggest things you might not have thought about and help narrow your selection. If youā€™re looking for the best RAM 1500 tires, youā€™re going to be considering brands like Nitto, Toyo, Falken, BFGoodrich and Cooper.

Our Top RAM 1500 Tire Picks

With so many tire options, itā€™s understandable that you might feel a little overwhelmed. Thatā€™s why weā€™ve put together a few of our top picks, recommended for your consideration below:

1. Nitto Ridge Grappler

With spiral-wound construction for an aggressive yet smooth ride, Grapplers feature a reinforced block foundation for added rigidity and reduced flex. A staggered shoulder lug provides off-road traction, while alternating, tapered edges and step blocks increase traction overall. They include dual sidewall designs and more.

2. BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2

If youā€™re looking for a great all-season tire, the KO2 is worth consideration. With its massive tread blocks for incredible grip, improved rock traction for the toughest terrain and Linear Flex Zone, the KO2 includes CoreGard Max Technology for additional sidewall strength and Traction Armor for split prevention.

3. Toyo Open Country M/T

If a big, bad, performance-oriented off-road tire is what youā€™re after, the M/T is made for workhorse rigs and off-road machines. Featuring deep siping for increased grip on wet surfaces, an aggressive tread design for superior off-road traction with unbeatable durability and impact resistance, the M/T is great on unpaved terrain.

Making Your Choice

Whatever tire youā€™re after, youā€™re going to want to choose tires that fit your budget, align with your activities of choice and match the look youā€™re going for. After that, youā€™ll want to be sure to look into fitment and stance for certainty of local legality and alignment with your own personal preferences. Donā€™t forget to look into warranties, as they can vary according to manufacturer and model.
