What drivers say about their 285/75 R17 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
A definite step in the right direction from the older AT2 in basically every way. I've driven multiple ram rebels that came with them stock, and I can say that the AT3 on my outdoorsman makes it feel more confident and capable than those trucks ever felt. Living in Atlantic Canada and being mid-late January, I have gotten a pretty good chance to experience how these work in the winter. Snow traction is above average for the all terrain class, although ice traction is still pretty average for the class. It's worth noting as well that these tires are very quiet compared to some of their main competitors although the perceived responsiveness does suffer a bit. That being said, they actually do handle pretty well, or at least they can handle more cornering load than my almost 5500lbs lifted truck is going to ever ask of them. Braking is pretty good for the size of the truck. They do an ok job at putting the power down when asked, but there is only so much you can expect with 3.92 gears on an 8 speed hemi with some mods. All in, I will probably end up buying these again when they need to be replaced in a few years.
On a 2011 Ram 2500 4×4 tires are excellent on dry or wet pavement. On gravel, dry is excellent, wet they feel greasy don't seem to clear the mud fast enough, also wear down fast on gravel.
Below average performance in snow and ice. Any more than a few centimeters of snow and they struggle, braking on ice is ok, do not have good traction for acceleration or lane control.
