Tire recommendations for a 2013 Ram 1500

I'm looking to replace the P rated tires on my truck and jump up to a real light truck tire. Could anyone give me some recommendations on tires? I've been looking at the new Nitto Terra Grappler G2 as well as the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor Pro. My truck is equipped with 275/60 R20. I know with the LT tires I will have to jump up a sidewall size. My truck also has the Ram air suspension as well.

  • I had a set of the Nitto Terra Grappler LT's on my Ford Expedition that I traded in a couple of years ago and really liked them but didn't have them on but about a year. I traded for a new 2012 Silverado 1500 a couple of years ago and just as soon as the P tires crapped out I replaced them with Firestone TransForce AT LT tires last year and so far I really like them. I have a couple of buddy's running them and they love them.

    I also like Goodyear tires but I don't like the Wrangler at all.
  • @grandpere Thank you very much!

    @2oldman 2013 was the first year they put the air suspension in the Ram.

    I didn't know that was offered in that year or for that truck.
  • If you are like me, Goodyears are great tires, but the Wranglers are a terrible tire. I had a set on my company truck years ago and the truck wandered and steered funny the whole time. When they wore out I replaced them with BF Goodrich All Terrain TAs. My son just put on a set of wranglers on his 96 F250 4x4 and he is having the same problems I had with them 20 years ago. He is so upset that he going to replace them with other tires and sell them on Craig's list.

    As for size, I see no problem with using the current size. If you go narrower (60 to 70 series) the tire will get taller, which is OK if you have room for them. I did a quick search for your tires in a LT type tire in a 275/60 R20 and they are plentiful, including my favorite BF Goodrich All Terrain TSs.
