Vehicles using LT325/65R18 tires include:

• RAM 1500 TRX (2012-2024)

1. Falken Wildpeak A/T3W - Best All-Terrain tire

Let’s kick this list off with a great performer in the all-terrain category, the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W. According to Falken, the 3W stands for Wet, Winter, and Wear. That’s pretty dead-on; after all, the Wildpeak A/T3W is stamped with the tire industry’s Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification for severe winter service. Off-road traction is consistent and tenacious, thanks to an aggressive all-terrain lug tread with a tread depth that’s a full 19/32”, along with improved lateral traction from lugs that wrap around from the shoulder onto the sidewall. That’s all we needed to take into account to give the Wildpeak A/T3W a SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction. The Wear part of the 3W branding is also a real strong positive for this tire – the Wildpeak A/T3W has a tough silica-infused tread formulation, with off-road durability that comes from step-down features, and support ramps, a reinforced sidewall and heat dissipation technology that protects the tire’s internal construction against excessive heat buildup. Falken covers the Wildpeak A/T3W with a 55,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, which is plenty for SimpleTire to note this tire with a SimpleScore of 8.9 for longevity. The Wildpeak A/T3W is a resilient all-terrain tire that doesn’t come with too big a tradeoff in the way of road manners and civilized behavior on the pavement, for a SimpleScore of 9.6 for handling.

2. Yokohama Geolandar X-AT - Great All-Terrain tire

Next up we’ve got another great all-terrain tire, the Yokohama Geolandar X-AT. The Geolandar X-AT registers with SimpleScores of 8.4 for handling, 8.3 for traction, and 9.1 for longevity, with an overall average SimpleScore of 8.6. Tough and tenacious, the Geolandar X-AT more or less splits the difference between all-terrain and mud-terrain design and performance. It’s designed with Yokohama’s damage-resistant HD-2 off-road tread compound and Geo-Shield design package that incorporates multiple sidewall plies, dual sidewall protectors, high-turnup casing, and a full nylon cap for stability and durability. Traction is augmented further with large shoulder blocks in varying lengths, combination grooves with a dense sipe pattern, and aggressive offset center blocks. The Geolandar’s ellipse-shaped contact patch helps to ensure good handling and even wear. Yokohama covers the Geolandar X-AT with a 45,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.

3. Toyo Open Country A/T III - Great All-Terrain tire

Any 4WD-equipped truck with the LT235/65R18 tire size is just as home off the pavement as on the highway, so here’s one of our best all-terrain tire choices. The Toyo Open Country A/T III is the tire you can rely on to get the job done for off-road adventures in sand, snow, mud, or rocks. That doesn’t mean, however, that you have to compromise on the low noise, responsive handling, good road manners, and comfortable ride that you’d expect from some of the best all-season tires. That might all sound like a fairly tall set of expectations, but the Toyo Open Country A/T III is just that kind of all-terrain tire. Toyo put durability as a top priority with the Open Country A/T III; it features a tough damage-resistant tread compound., polyester casing, two steel belts, and a spiral wrap polyamide cap layer. The Open Country A/T III gets a very strong SimpleScore of 9.6 for longevity; Toyo backs this tire with a 65,000 mile manufacturer tread life warranty. The symmetric all-terrain tread features a high void ratio and stone ejectors to shed stones, mud, and debris easily, ensuring there’s always a clear section of the tread to dig in as the wheel turns. That extra-deep tread depth helps deliver traction along with extended wear. The Toyo Open Country A/T III has the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service (SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction). Cornering, braking, and steering response are also focused and immediate without being overly touchy, thanks to the shoulder design, sipe pattern, and stable internal construction of the Open Country A/T III. SimpleScore for handling: 9.3. The Toyo Open Country A/T III is a tire you can’t go wrong with in this tire size, with performance that’s equally capable on or off paved surfaces.

4. Hankook Dynapro AT2 (RF11) - Good All-Terrain tire

Next up we’ve got another good all-terrain tire in the LT235/65R18 size, the Hankook Dynapro AT2 (RF11). SimpleScores for this tire come out at 8.1 for longevity, 8.2 for traction, 8.3 for handling, and an overall average SimpleScore of 7.9, so let’s break that down a bit. Hankook covers the Dynapro AT2 (RF11) with a very respectable 60,000 mile warranty, which is excellent coverage for any all-terrain tire. That durability is thanks to a highly-dispersed silica tread compound and tough 3-ply construction with two high-tensile steel belts and two nylon cap plies for stability and ruggedness. The Dynapro AT2 (RF11) has the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service; its tread pattern features a combination of multi-directional tread grooves and sipes and independent tread blocks with tie bars that link them together for reduced flex and extra rigidity. A wide contact patch is designed to encourage long, even wear properties as well as give steering response, cornering, and braking performance a boost.

5. Nitto Ridge Grappler - Good All-Terrain tire

Let’s wrap this list up with one last good all-terrain tire, the Nitto Ridge Grappler. The Nitto Ridge Grappler gets SimpleScores of 8.4 for traction, 7.4 for longevity, 8.6 for handling, and an overall average SimpleScore of 8.1. This is a tire that’s ready to take you on a grocery run, or equally capable for the off-road adventures you might be planning. The Nitto Ridge Grappler has a tough all-terrain tread with reinforced tread blocks, zigzag lateral grooves, and aggressive staggered shoulder lugs with alternating grooves that easily eject mud and debris from the tread. Stone ejectors built into the base of the tread grooves help protect the casing, and the tread pitch is randomized and computer-tuned to help keep road noise to a minimum. That added rigidity in the tread also helps with steering response and cornering that are predictable and quick, for that great SimpleScore in the handling category. You can also personalize your truck’s look with the Nitto Ridge Grappler – choose from a more traditional sidewall design on one side, or a more aggressive blocky look on the other. With a 55,000 mile warranty, the Nitto Ridge Grappler is an excellent value in a hybrid tire that’s somewhere between an all-terrain and mud-terrain design in terms of durability, traction, and overall performance.
