I'm looking to see what my best options are for new tires for my 2006 Dodge 3500 single wheel, 4x4. Right now I have Cooper M+S 275 70R18's, E rated on it. I've been very happy with there performance on both wet and dry roads and a little disappointed with them in snow. We don't get a lot of snow here but it is a concern. Overall I'd say I'm happy with them. I tow a 30' Airstream trailer with it and it tows very nice and stable with no sway at all at highway speeds. I had it out in Colorado last month and drove the Alpine Loop out of Lake City with no difficulties at all. It's a Megacab and the loop was an easy ride with only a little trouble on some of the Engineer pass switchback turns. Anyhow, I will be needing tires before too long. I plan to stay with the "E's" but interested in what's available for all purpose driving. I could easily stay with the Coopers. Just trying to do my homework ahead of time.

Appreciate any input from the forum.

Thanks, I'm not a coffee drinker, it's a Blue Moon.

 

18" wheels?

I really, really, like my 285 Hankook ATMs, but I have them on the stock 17" wheels.

 

I love my Nitto Dura Grapplers but I have only had them for 5k miles and no winter driving yet. They are the 285/70/17's but I think they also make them in an 18" rim size as well.

 

I live in CO, and drive in heavy snow pretty often. Some off roading, but usually just muddy/snowy fire roads.

I think the Michelin LTX M/S is the best all around tire available. Gets me through heavy snow with no drama. Quiet on dry pavement. And will easily last 60K miles. E rated available.
