Recommendations on highway tires for 2021 Ram1500

[Orangepeel]

My father in law put a set of toyo open country ht on his truck and doesn't like them. He said they grip well but they're loud. He wants a tire that will last 60k + miles and rides good etc. what tire would you recommend definitely needs to be a highway truck tire.

I have ran Michelin LTX M/S2 for over 30yrs. Always liked them. Never had an issue.

My current truck, a '15 GMC Sierra 1500 came with Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza's. I've put about 45k on them and like them more than the Michelins. They are quieter, though the Michelins barely made any noise. They ride great and have been good on wet roads and what small amounts of winter weather they've been in in the 5yrs I've owned it.

That said, the Queens Acura MDX we bought new last year has the same Bridgetones on it. They're not as quiet or as smooth as the truck. I do not know if it's because my trucks weight and size has a bearing on it, or if there is/was a change in the rubber they used. I still really like them on her car just as much.

I have never had Bridgestones until these two vehicles.

My company truck is running Yokohama Geolander AT G015's. Its a 2021 Ford Ranger. We go thru tires fairly quickly on our trucks as we put 25-30k per year. I've had GY's, Firestones, Hankooks, Sumitomos and Yokohamas. The Firestones on the previous trucks were so bad on wet roads, we replaced the tires in less than 15k miles for Yokohamas.

I like tirerack for comparing tires. I drive the Queen nuts when it comes to tires as I'll research for a couple months. And usually always come back to the Michelins. But the Bridgestones may have changed that. Odd since Bridgestones and Firestone are made by the same company, and I hated the Firestones on the work truck.

Continental is another solid choice.

Michelin or Continental highway all seasons

I put P rated Cooper Endeavor Plus on my Silverado 1500 and I’m very happy with them after 10,000 miles. Very quiet and a smooth ride. $100 rebate going on now.

Any off roading type or all highway/road. What size? Snow/ice?

Highway-
Continental TerrainContact HT
Pirelli Scorpion AS3
Michelin Defender LTX MS2
General HTS 60

I haven't tried the Bridgestone Alenza. Some friends are happy with the new Alenza AS Ultra and the old H/L Alenza. They get pretty good reviews. My Bridgestone experiences but different models were not great for wear and winter grip, at least they were smooth. I'd look at them before Goodyear's for me.

IMO: The 2 top choices in that category are
Michelin defender ltx ms/2
Continental TerrainContact H/T

if one is significantly cheaper I'd go with either.
There are other options but if the OP already didnt like toyo's I would stick to the top tier tires.

Look into Firestone Destination LE3. Supposed to be quiet. I don't own them yet but will very soon.

Had ms2 and they were nice—but cracked after two years. I know people love them but personally I would be hard pressed to buy again.

This 60k target, how long will it take to get there?

i bought the Falken highway tires for my Ram truck with 20" tires. I have 30k on them and they still look almost new. Very quiet and wet or dry really can't tell. After having those I also bought Falken for my wife's car and am getting the same results on her Mazda 5.

Continental terrain contact HT tire would probably be your best option and the price is reasonable for 70k mile warranty. Other options in the order I prefer:
General grabber (good price)
Cooper endeavor or pro control (good price)
GY Fortitude (good experience in the past)
Yokohama geolander ht
Firestone destination ht
Kumho crugen ht51 (good experience in the past)
Hankook Dynapro HT
Falken wildpeak ht (not a fan)


Michelin and Bridgestone I have very good experience with, just a bit too expensive for me

This.

These are the two top rated tires in the segment, can't go wrong with either of them.

For an unloaded pickup, rear wheel spin out can be a nuisance if he lives in a hilly area. Hands down, the continental AT has been the best I’ve had. The yoko G015 balances better and rides like waterskis on a crystal lake, but won’t touch rear wheel wet traction like the contis have for me. I’m on my second set of continentals, and had one set of the yokos. I quite like both sets.

I’ve also owned earlier version of the alenza HL and found them good in SUVs in dry and wet - but in all cases, I had weight over the drive tires. I’ve owned 2 sets of the Dueler LE2 and found them great in the dry, including towing, but only average when wet.

Excellent choice. They are on my company truck and they are incredibly quite, no fuss tires.

Michelin Defender LTX MS2's are Great at 2 things
High Mileage (75k+ miles)
Being Quiet
I'm currently on my 6th set of Michelin's on my current 2011 Ford Expedition with 394k miles in my signature
Best of luck to you,
