Goodyear Fortera SL Edition 305/45 R22 Dodge ram 1500 17 miles May 16, 2025
I have 305/45R22 Fortera SL Edition's mounted on 22" polished Mopar R/T wheels on my 2016 Ram Sport, 5.7 Hemi, 4x4 Crew Cab.
My driving is mostly highway miles, some travel trailer, and utility trailer towing, but mostly spirited cruising in dry weather, garage kept, shiny and clean.
Ride quality is excellent. The tires are quiet and smooth at highway speed, steer straight, and grip well in corners.
I air them up a bit for towing my 28' travel trailer and it feels solid with no issues.
Overall they handle well in wet weather but can break loose and fishtail in sharp corners if I'm too foot heavy and aggressive with the Hemi.
The tires are wearing even at 17K miles but probably are only good for about 20K overall before I replace them. Maybe 25%+ left. To me these are a "summer" sport tire, and have served me well for my use and driving style. They are great looking tires. Nice sidewalls, directional sport tread that channels water well, and a soft compound that grips the road and provides a soft, smooth ride. A trade off for tire wear I believe. It's worth mentioning that I have other vehicles and drive my Sport Ram less than 2K miles a year, and after 9 years since new I'm just turning 17K miles. I am shopping for new tires and looking at some more aggressive A/T tires that will do well mostly on the highway, yet can handle rain and light snow. 3 Peaks. A step-up from all season tires, but a step down from full mud, rock crawling, stiff sidewall off-roading baja, headbanging tires. There are so many choices in this category it's mind boggling. I'm doing my research now. I see that the new 2025 Tungsten Ram 1500 CC, comes with Falken WILDPEAK, 285/45R22 AW3, that I'm considering. Enjoy your rig and keep on trucking!
