Ram 1500: All-Terrain vs Mud-Terrain Tires

更新于 2026年10月13日

Choosing between all-terrain and mud-terrain tires for your Ram 1500 comes down to where you drive. Here is how the tire types compare for daily driving, towing and off-road use.

Tire types compared

	Highway (H/T)	All-terrain (A/T)	Mud-terrain (M/T)
Road noise	Quietest	Moderate	Loudest
Tread life	Longest	Long	Shorter
Snow and rain	Good	Good, many are 3PMSF rated	Fair on ice and wet pavement
Mud and rocks	Poor	Good	Best
Fuel economy impact	Lowest	Small	Noticeable

What works best on the Ram 1500

The Ram 1500 rides softly on coil springs, so a light-truck (LT) all-terrain can feel firmer than the stock P-metric tire. Many owners choose an XL or C-load all-terrain for daily driving.

Typical all-terrain upgrade size: 33 inch (e.g. 285/70R17 on aftermarket wheels, 275/70R18, 285/55R20).

How to choose

Mostly pavement with occasional dirt roads: all-terrain.
Regular trails, mud or rocks: mud-terrain or a rugged-terrain hybrid.
Winter driving: look for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
Towing and payload: check the load range (SL, XL, C, D or E) against your needs.
