I’m ordering the Bronze Method Race Wheels NV in 18 x 9 18/5.75 on a white leveled Tradesman. I would like to run 35s or there about. I’d like an AT not super aggressive. What tires do you guys like and any recommended retailers for the best deals?

I just bought some Falken Wildpeaks. I've only had them a week and it's not winter weather yet, but so far I like them. These I got are 285/65/20, so pretty much a 35" after rounding up. They get nothing but rave reviews online too, that's how I decided to get them. I had Duratracs on a few trucks and they always wore uneven, even after rotating and keeping good pressure. The Duratracs also were horrible in the rain, and not so great in the slush/snow.

I’ve been looking at those Toyo Open Country R/Ts, I’ve seen a couple of pictures of trucks with these in the 35 and 37 sizes and I think they look better than the A/Ts.

Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion and experience with the Duratracs.

I had Yokohamas on my F150 as factory. Would have been nice for the Ram to have come with a set.

I was very happy with my Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my last truck, good off road, good in rain & snow, my only complaint would be that they got a little load at the end of their life. Not mudder loud, but definitely more than when new.

285/75/18 Falken WIldpeaks. Have about 4k on them and they have been great. Excellent in the rain.

Cooper Discoverer XLT 285/75/18, look great not overly aggressive. Ordered from DTD. Only 100mi so far but confidence is hi. I run the Ridge Grapplers on my Wrangler. While I like that tire overall, it's ice performance is the worst I've ever ran. If ice is in forecast, JK is parked.

I watched a video tonight and a guy did the Falken AT3W but in the 295/60/20 configuration with no lift on his 2019. The OEM's are 285's. Does anyone know if you can rung the 295's with no problems or rubbing?

Falken 295/60R20 will be closer to factory height than the 285/65R20 most (myself included) are putting on. Width-wise, they are .4" wider section, so .2" each side. Nothing significant there.

The 295/60 carries about 100lbs less per tire rating @3750. Still higher than factory @3640.

Falken doesn't make a 295/65R20 or I would have gotten those,.

Simple Tire is a good vendor. Just purchased a Goodyear 17.5" spare for my 5th wheel and it was lowest cost I could find and shipped immediately.

This website will help you get a sense of size by comparison.

Brutal - thanks for the website link again. I used it to get an idea but I still can’t tell truly how much clearance I’ll have If I opt for 295/65/20s. I want to keep it stock suspension, no lift. The website looks it’ll be close but just using eyeball it looks like there’s plenty of room for clearance. Has anybody moved up to that size, or what’s your opinion? I gave up my quest for OWL tires and now looking for more sidewall for towing.

My 285/65/20 are reeeeally close to the Radius Arms. I would talk you out of going to a 295 with a 65 profile. You will more than likely rub with that width and no spacer.
