Ram’s collection of industry leading pickup trucks are designed and built to balance comfort with practical use, with tyres ideally needing to be suitable for both on- and off-road driving. Some of the leading tyre models that are connected with Ram pickups, like the Ram 1500, include Michelin Defender LTX tyres, Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra tyres, Firestone Destination LE3 tyres, and Continental TerrainContact tyres.

The right tyre size for your Ram truck will be listed in the vehicle handbook and printed on the sidewall of the vehicle’s OEM tyres. You can also search using the registration plate and vehicle model online, where you will find advice on run-flat tyres and other specifications.

The UK does not have a legal requirement that includes seasonal tyre changes, and so it is not necessary to switch between summer tyres and winter tyres as the temperature and climate changes. However, summer and winter tyres often have specific design traits that support enhanced safety and performance in different conditions. Summer tyres balance wet and dry grip with ease, while winter tyres are ideal for traversing different terrains and navigating extreme temperatures. For those who prefer the convenience of a single solution all-year round, all-season tyres are legal and offer sufficient stability for UK drivers.

With the use of Ram trucks varying from one driver to the next, some supporting extensive towing and practical work while others are used on a daily basis for family life and commuting, the best way to keep tyres in good condition is regular inspections and maintenance checks. Ensuring you have the correct tyre size for the vehicle is key, matching tyre load rating and speed rating with the vehicle and your driving habits. It’s also important that you inspect the tyre tread and tread pattern for sufficient depth and even wear, keep tyres inflated to the correct tyre pressure, and identify any signs of damage early for effective repair.
