Tires

[Power Wagon Family]

Hey guy's and gal's I normally hang out in the Jeep and Expo Trailer areas but I recently purchased a 2012 Dodge 2500 with the 6.7. I want to put a leveling kit on it and some bigger tires (not giant) no bigger then 34-35. I plan on towing my jeep at times as well as our family's pop-up. I am very familiar with tires having had jeeps for years however the jeep tires tend to be soft for rock crawling. What all terrain/ mud terrain tires do you all recommend that can hold up to the weight of this truck and has good tread life?

Thanks
Corey

The main thing to look at is a tire's rolling resistance, this will affect your mpg as well as acceleration and braking. I myself would go with a mild A/T tire on a tow rig, and make sure they are E rated.

Check out the new Toyo a/t II in 285/75/17 they are 34x11.5 ish
Good tread pattern and a 50k warranty. Also able to find them under 250.
I want to make these my next tires if I can find a wheel that works to my Chevy. You dodge guys got it from te factory.

I just ordered Toyo Open Country A/T II in LT285/75R17 (currently backorded ~4 weeks, here in the PNW). They're 33.9" tall on an 8-inch rim, 10-ply LRE and have gotten pretty decent user-reviews.

What ever you get, make sure it's an E rated tire.

The '12 Dodge will require more than a leveling kit to go more than a 33. The factory 2" lift on the Gen 4 Power Wagon is just enough for the stock BFG AT 285/75-17, going bigger on the Gen 4 trucks requires a bit more lift. Then again, the PW has a lot more flex than the Cummin's truck, so perhaps you won't need much lift for a 33.

I have used the Toyo A/T II and the Cooper S/T Maxx with great results- and all E rated as well. And use them on a diesel tow rig, so decent torque, weight, distance, etc to evaluate.

I got 55,000 miles out of my Grabber at2's. Now I have Geolanders. I like the grabbers for snow and off road and the geolanders for on road and on the rocks.

Put me down for Toyo AT or MT as well. I had the ATs on a Dodge 1500 reg cab in 285/75R17, and they were good. I now run the MTs in 315/75R16 on my F350. It carries a VERY heavy camper and they do a fantastic job. They are smooth and quiet on the highway too. I would take the MT first if you encounter much snow, but if you are in an area of NM where there isn't much snow, the ATs would be great too.

Go with toyos, either MT or AT and you can't go wrong. My last set of Toyo AT in 285 75 17 went 55,000 miles, not a single flat. My new set of Toyo MT 35x12.5 17 are phenomenal. I have about 20,000 miles on them so far and not a single problem or flat, and have plenty of tread to finish the trip. We haven't been easy on the tires or truck either!

Anyone ever ran 215/85/16's?

E Rated.

Toyo AT 2 or Toyo RT will serve you well.

I ran Toyo RT on a prior truck and really liked them. I'm running Toyo MT's on my Ram 2500 diesel right now and they are great for an MT. But, still an MT. When they wear out I am going back to the RT or most likely the Toyo AT.
