Looking for some recommendations.

I have a 2025 Ram 1500 Limited with the 22inch rims. The ****** Pirelli Scorpions that came on it need changed after 20k miles.

Anyone have any good recommendations? Looking for more of a hybrid A/T R/T tire.

TIA
 
Discount Tire has a great all terrain tire that I just love. Quiet and excellent traction in winter. Marginal loss in fuel efficiency.
 
I second the Cooper Discovery recommendations. I've had 2 sets of the Discovery ATPs on my Tundra.

I'd also recommend Discount Tire if you have one around you. Free rotation and balance and really good service. Surprisingly, their windshield wipers are really good as well. Way better than any other brand I've tried.

Coopers on as well. Decent quiet tire. Feel like they could be better in wet or snow conditions.

I had these on my truck. In my opinion, they are one of the best truck tires out there. I got fantastic life out of them, I only got rid of them because they were 8 years old and starting to weather-check. They had excellent traction in snow an ice. Only downside is if you live on gravel, they tended to throw rocks more than other tires I've had. I wanted to replace with the same tires, but all of the warehouses were out of stock in my size.

Same on my truck. I just got about 100,000 miles out of K02's and never had a problem with snow or ice. Worked out to be worth the higher price tag for me. Hoping the K03's that are getting put on next will perform just as well, since they discontinued the K02's.

Ditto for Discount Tire. I'm sure it varies by location like any other chain store, but I've worked with multiple of their shops around the DSM area and they've all treated me very well with sales and service. Quick, efficient, honest about pricing and purpose. They will attempt to price match other nearby stores also (I put them up against Costco and Sam's tire pricing), or recommend similar items they have at similar/better pricing.
 
A major construction company in my area always used Wranglers, then switched to Coopers (while I was farming). I doubt creature comfort entered their decision equation but more so economics/durability. There is a major difference between rolling down the highway and pulling 2 anhydrous tanks on a gravel road. Most mileage warrantees are void if you travel gravel as no tire is built to endure that. I don't abuse tires like I did in the past and still run Coopers. I'm also not too concerned about noise/ride 'cause its a truck doing truck things, not a car doing car things.

We had these on our Jeep which is a daily driver, but we do some off roading with it too. We replaced the KO2s with Falken Wildpeak A/T and the noise difference on the highway is huge. The Falkens are sooooo much quieter and they ride better, too. We can't tell much off road difference, but we're not rock climbing in Moab. They still have an aggressive look without the drone.

We've had them for a couple of years now and they're holding up well.
 
We just installed Cooper Discoverer Rugged Treks on our 1st responders unit, can run 90mph down the highway with zero noise from the tires. Will give them more of a test this fall/winter maybe with rain and snow grip.

available in 285/45R22

Cooper is now under Goodyear. at least for the last few years.
 
Had really good luck with Bridgestone dueler A/T on a pickup and suv. One set went over 90000 and the other about 80000 miles but they aren't cheap.
 
Top of the line Coopers or Wranglers. I had 75,000 miles plus on a set of Wrangles when the front drivers tire said it had enough. 70 mph on Ave of Saints close to Charles City. I slowed down we changed the tire and keep going. The tire really stayed together until I got stopped.
