At SimpleTire, our team has reviewed the inventory and picked out some of the best options in premium tires for your RAM 3500 TRX4, including all-season, all-terrain, winter, and mud-terrain light truck tires. We then ranked them in Best/Great/Good order and used our SimpleScore system to determine a numerical value for each tire's traction, longevity, and handling categories. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:
1. Goodyear Wrangler Steadfast HT - Best All-Season Tire
Let’s kick this list off with the Wrangler Steadfast HT from Goodyear, a highway all-season tire committed to delivering the levels of ride comfort, road manners, stability, and treadwear you’d expect from an automotive Grand Touring tire. The Wrangler Steadfast HT is tough, with DuPont Kevlar in the tread, a reinforced sidewall, and built-in WearGauge indicators in the tread pattern. Goodyear stands by the Wrangler Steadfast HT with a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty. What that adds up to is a tire that offers long, even wear and is durable enough to resist damage from potholes and other hazards – we give the Wrangler Steadfast HT a SimpleScore of 9.9 for longevity. A SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction is pretty admirable, thanks to a pattern of sipes, lateral and angled grooves, and extra-wide circumferential grooves that help resist hydroplaning and get through wet weather with peace of mind and confidence. Cornering, braking response, and steering input are all direct and accurate; thanks to that tread design and a solid center rib – we give the Steadfast HT a SimpleScore of 9.5 for handling.
2. Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus - Best All-Terrain Tire
For most drivers of light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers (and certainly for a RAM 3500 TRX4), all-season tires are the best choice and make the most sense all the way around. With premium all-terrain tires, you can expect year-round traction with a quiet, compliant ride, excellent wear properties, stable handling, and composed road manners. Mindful of all that, our first pick would be the Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3. The Scorpion All Season Plus 3 is a tire that lives up to all those expectations and more – it’s designed for consistent traction in wet, dry, or light winter conditions with a network of circumferential grooves that avoid hydroplaning as they channel water from the tire’s contact patch. In addition, a system of 3D sipes with angled and lateral grooves significantly improves all-season grip, earning it a SimpleScore rating of 9.7 for traction. With a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, tread life is also excellent, thanks to its robust internal construction and a durable, damage-resistant rubber formulation, marking up a SimpleScore rating of 9.8 for longevity. Handling and cornering are all designed around a sequence-tuned shoulder block and optimized footprint for a SimpleScore rating of 9.4 for handling. Overall, the Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 gets an average SimpleScore of 9.2.
3. Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 - Best Winter Tire
It's time for our choice of a winter tire, and the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 is a perfect option for winter performance for your RAM 3500 TRX4. The Blizzak DM-V2 has the technology and design features to get a driver through some of the most challenging winter conditions without putting you and your passengers through a slippery, nerve-wracking ride. Bridgestone loaded up this purpose-built winter tire with next-generation features like an advanced winter tread formulation that ensures that the tire stays flexible at subfreezing temperatures and incorporates Bridgestone’s multi-cell rubber compounds and a hydrophilic coating. The Blizzak’s footprint is designed to put the most rubber in contact with the road, with increased block edges in its tread pattern. Its tread compound is infused with “bite particles” that let the Blizzak DM-V2 get the best purchase on snowy, slushy, or icy surfaces, earning a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction. That enhanced contact patch also helps to improve steering feedback and response as well as traction and control, which calculates a SimpleScore of 8.9 for handling. Durability is another strong point with this tire; while most tires will naturally lose traction as they wear down, Bridgestone designed the first 55% of the tire’s tread depth with NanoPro Tech Multicell Compound. When that wears down, the remaining 45% of tread depth is a standard winter compound that still offers excellent grip on snow and slush (SimpleScore of 9.3 for longevity). It’ll come as no surprise that the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service.
These are some of the best premium tire options for your Dodge RAM 3500 TRX4, but we’re far from done. Here are some more great tires to consider:
4. Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 - Great All-Terrain Tire
Now, we come to a tire that’s made a great impression on drivers for years: the Geolandar A/T G015 from Yokohama. Yokohama’s Geolandar line has built a great reputation as an all-terrain tire design for many years, and the Geolandar A/T G015 is a natural next step for Yokohama. The Geolandar A/T G015 utilizes Yokohama’s Enduro tread formulation and a flat, optimized footprint that encourages long, even wear (with a 60,000 mile warranty), enough for a strong SimpleScore of 8.8 for longevity. The grip on or off the pavement is top-notch, combining 3D sipes, circumferential grooves, and Yokohama’s Edgetec groove design. The Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 is certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service, and we give it a very strong 8.6 SimpleScore in the traction department. Road manners, steering feedback, cornering, and steering response are superb thanks to tread features and durable, stable Endurocore construction, earning it a SimpleScore for handling 8.4.
5. Kumho Crugen HT51 - Great all-season tire
Last but not least, we come to the Crugen HT51 from Kumho. The Crugen HT51 has an innovative tread pattern that you can count on for both long wear and great traction, with an optimized geometric block layout, wide circumferential grooves, and a zigzag design of 3D sipes for extra biting edges in snow and slush (SimpleScore of 9 for traction). Winter traction with the Crugen HT51 is strong enough for it to be certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service. Durability is quite good, too, with a long-wearing tread compound and polyester/steel belt/nylon casing design, with a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty (SimpleScore of 9.6 for longevity). With its slotted shoulder and rigid tread blocks, handling is responsive and predictable for a SimpleScore of 8.9.
