Upgrading my Ram 1500 tires

[Wilhelm_Enforcer]

I've got a 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn, totally stock with no lift or leveling. It came with 275/65R18 tires, but I’m thinking about bumping up to 275/70R18 for a bit more aggressive look and ground clearance. Anyone here tried this setup without rubbing issues?

Also, I’m looking for something with a tougher tread but not crazy over the top. Any tire recommendations for a good balance of daily driving comfort and off-road capability? I'm interested in probably travelling off-road sometime.

That tire upgrade will definitely give your Ram a meaner look! Just keep in mind, going up a size could slightly affect fuel efficiency since you're adding weight and rolling resistance. If you're after something balanced, the Goodyear Fortitude HTs could be a great choice, they're tough but still pretty efficient for daily use.

My son just put on 275/70 R18 Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires. They're the right size for his car, no rubbing at all. They're pretty big tires, about 33 inches tall and 11 inches wide.

I’ve seen others go with 275/70R18 without rubbing, but it might depend on your exact truck setup. For tires, consider Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac..

Going from 275/65R18 to 275/70R18 is generally considered a safe size increase on a stock 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn. You should not experience any rubbing issues with this size.

Since you're looking for a good balance of on-road comfort and off-road capability, you can either try Falken Wildpeak A/T3W or BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2
