Anyone running these? I'm needing to replace the OEM tires on my ram. I was planning on getting a somewhat less aggressive all terrain but these caught my eye. Much of a mpg hit with these? How's the road noise and handling? I am also looking at the michelin AT2, terra grappler, and I may just put on michelin m/s tires.....had those on my previous truck and loved them but they are a highway tire.

had the nitto terra grapplers and now have the cooper at3, cooper are a better tire imo.
I would have to turn down ac/dc to hear any road noise and that ain't happenin.

I am getting about 25% better mileage out of the coopers than I did with the nitto, always rotate at oil change (5000 mi).

I had a list of AT tires I was doing my research on and thought I had settled in on a couple of choices. Stopped by Discount Tire and after visiting with them I went with the Pathfinder ATs. They are made by either Hankook or Kumho depending on which version you buy and have excellent reviews. Been on my truck about a month and very happy with them so far. Great on the road and good off the asphalt too. Seems to do well in the rain. Very low road noise and seems a well built tire. Best thing is they were right at $700 installed for a set of 4.

You'll probably get a lot more miles out of the Michelins but they are highway tires.

Grapplers were loud and didn't wear even over time even with rotation at oil changes.

Rotation is the life of tires.

Besides the road tire. Which one of these does best in the rain as well? I hate a truck that hydroplanes.

Here are some ratings from Tirerack. I don't know how much bias is involved, but it's something to look over.

I'll be putting a set of 275/70 R18s on the Tundra. I don't run a ton of miles and they'll be less noisy than my Duratracs.

I like the aggressive look and off road capabilities. If quieter than the Duratracs all the better. Not concerned about mileage and if I were I'd stick with highway tires.

I'm on my 2nd set of Pathfinder AT's. They don't break the bank and wear well.

Been impressed so far. Funny thing is I notice them on a ton of trucks now. I guess they stand out visually now that I have tgem. Been good in this rain too.

Nitto Grappler G2's here...have 52K miles on them. They will be replaced with the same tires again. They are amazing in many different terrains, low noise, great wear, and don't disturb my gas mileage.

Frenzy, I have not heard good stuff about the Ridge Grapplers. Judd and BigPig on THF were not fans of them at all. One was on an eco f150 and the other a cummins ram single rear wheel.
