Tires I can compare are the OEM Firestone Transforce, Michelin Defender and Continental Allterain.
We towed app 22.000mls through the country on it.
We are thanks to the Mega at ~6900 to 7100 rear axle weight.
I was considering to go to a 295/60 R20 to get a slightly better weight rating.
But on the front they would rub a little and you should do a leveling kit at least.

Once unhitched the Discoverer XLT is the most comfy tire you can experience on the truck.
Oh, and the look

You won't go wrong.
Get them from Discounttire and you can always exchange them.
They have a $70 Mail In Rabat at the moment I think.

Make sure you get them road force balanced and in the best case stand next to them to be sure.

Thanks. I’m looking hard at these. It’s a difficult subject to get real good information on being there are so any variables, but you have the same truck I have (mine is a 2017 RAM Laramie Longhorn 3500 diesel Megacab). I reckon you can wear down and ruin a tire very quickly by improper inflation. My original Firestone Transforce AT’s on the rear wore out very fast, but again, perhaps I ran them with too little air to support the 2,600 lb Pin weight of My 5th wheel. It means a lot to learn about positive results on this site. Thank you again.
