marty stewartson wrote good day all i am looking for input on tires for my 01 ram 2500 quad cab truck with a cummins diesel. i am tired of all the tire web sitessalesmen etc and thought i would ask the group which tires you have had the best luck with. most of my driving is highwayrainsnow sometimes deepsome driving through nevada in the summeretc and pull a car trailer a lot.i hated the oem michelins they were crap in the rain and not much better in the snow. i appreciate all the help i have had on previous issues and thought i would try this one..thanks in advance.... the oem michelins are ltx a/s. they have lousy traction in rain and clog up in snow. the ltx m/s are the tires ive ever had for all around driving. they stick like glue in the snow. theyre expensive but last 60k+ easily. if you drive quite a bit in the snow or off road then the ltx a/ts might be worth a look. the a/ts downfall is more road noise and most likely slightly lower mpg. i also like michelins cross terrain but i dont believe they have them in the higher load ratings. i have them on my durango and take it in the snow every winter. .
