New Tires

[Kirk fillman]

I have a 2019 Ram dually and pull a 40’ Montana High Country 5th wheel. I need some new tires for my Ram and I’m wondering what brand I should buy? I believe you get what you pay for. I had a blowout on my 5’r this summer so I’m looking for quality.

I have found Michelin to be hard to beat. I have a set of Toyo Open Country on my 4 Runner and they have been good tires. Have 60,000 on them and will replace them with another set. Because of previous experiences with Goodyear I'll run on the rims before I go that way.

I do not tow today but the years I did most of the time I ran Michelin and never had a problem on the truck. The fifth wheel was another story on tires and blow outs.

My 21 ram drw came with Nexen tires. They are Korean made, but seem to be decent.

This is the model I have:

Nexen Tire Roadian HTX RH5

Nexen Tire Roadian HTX RH5 - HIGHWAY TERRAIN

We tow a 28k horse trailer gooseneck and a 6k bumper pull. Tires feel very good compared to the chevys Cooper tires on my other truck.

As for trailers, I am only running goodyear endurance on the trailers. They are the best ST tire available. We put a lot of miles on trailers and have never had a blowout.

Will not use goodyear on motorhome or vehicles

This my first DRW p/u. Do people rotate the front tires to the back or just buy new? I had a guy tell me he buys two sets of fronts to one set of backs.

The wheels are setup so that rotating is only side to side, and not front to back.

So did my 2018 crew cab dually.
We were coming back from N. Ft. Myers to the resort last winter and the truck started shaking. Limped it back at 40 mph to the campground and got out and walked beside it while wife drove. One of the front nexens had slipped a belt and was wobbling. 25,000 miles.
Put 2 new Kelly edge on the front since they were priced ok and had good luck with them on my 1/2 ton silverado.

Internet search revealed several others who had their nexens come apart on Rams. I cannot recommend nexen tires.

I'm running Michlens on the truck and Carlise on the trailer. We did upsize from C rating to D rating on the trailer tires.

Thanks for your time I think I’m going with Michelin.?
