Affordable Winter Wheels Setup: Ram 2363

[Riviot]

Have you started looking at all-weather tires?

Are these different from All Season? I ended up going with Falken Wildpeak AT3W ?

Please note that I have the ram wheel setup. I bought blizzak lt 275/65/20 and they rub on lowest when turning and bumps. And low rubs on heavy bumps. I use low only in stiff mode.

I had the same issue with stock ATs, always stiff in lowest (only used it once driving, and then only for loading things like kayaks) and low (road trips). My new 275/60/20 AS tires don't rub in low/soft.

Thanks! Will switch them out once I wear out my current set

At least theoretically.

I was about to purchase ones from the service center next week but these look pretty nice.
Do you have a wider shot of the whole truck with these installed?

Here you go. Hope this helps...

This is the exact set up i went with. As others said tpms247 is not reliable. Their sensors never worked on my truck and they never responded to any inquiry to return or mitigate the issue.

$1k savings sounds very nice.
Their bronze is like another $400 in savings. Not generally a fan of Bronze but seems like it would look nice with the Forest Green.

Stupid question probably - their load rating is 2200 lbs, the original is 2750, does it really matter ?

Is this the right Ram 2363 wheel? Found on FB marketplace. Says from a 2009-2012 Ram 1500.

Yes, confirmed. These wheels fit, and clear the calipers. https://www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/b...tory-reproductions-fr70-20x9-25#review-system.

Because they are +25 offset, they have a little more 'poke' than +48 OEM wheels, but I like the more aggressive stance. I've had them installed for almost 2 weeks now.

This what was ordered? They look great.

Without going into too much detail here...no, the reduced load rating on these aftermarket wheels, does not concern me...for my use cases. The same goes for others that I know of that run this exact wheel. I won't be repeatedly towing at the mid or max capacity or constantly slamming my rig into the ground and other surroundings while doing extreme off-roading. And as for my mild to moderate off-roading and overlanding adventures are concerned, I've already calculated my cumulative weight and factored that into my travels. Again, for my use cases, with all gear and passengers, my total load will always be under the 8800lb (2200*4) load rating of the wheels. As a side note, I think the aforementioned Ram 2363 wheels are similarly rated...I could be wrong though. The wheels that I have are also Ram reproduction wheels.

So, all this to say, it depends on your use cases and estimates...as to whether it's worth-it and fits within your expectations. But if you plan to be a hard-core off roader, you may want to find another solution such as OEM, EVSportline, etc.

Good luck!

From my Trailbuilt link...???...yep...that's it. Too bad they've bumped the price though. I bought mine in mid-May for $192 each. Guess they're more popular now!

One more thing...GET...A...SPARE!!! ?

Yup! How much?

I dropped mine at the powder coating shop today, they wanted to poke around the truck and said they're dying to powder coat one. It's very tempting...

Powder coat the truck? I’ll let you go first

I just stumbled on these...

Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus 275/60R20 115T for $227
https://a.co/d/gczpEpU

Same as these: https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/pirelli-scorpion-all-terrain-plus/p/44035

Max tire pressure is listed at 44psi, but very well could be higher, just like the Falkens. Has anyone seen them in person?

I've seen them in person...unmounted. They are pretty much the same as the original ATs...just without the RIV label, and are a bit smaller diameter (33s}.

I considered those tires as well, but decided against because I wanted better traction, a true warranty, and a tire that is expected to last close to its stated mileage. I've seen too many posts about the Pirelli's wearing down very prematurely. Compared to my Falkens, the Pirelli's have a more shallow tread depth but are about the same weight. I've also heard comments about how 'thin' the sidewalls are, but I can't attest to that personally. And just to restate it, the Falkens I'm running have a confirmed max psi of 51.

This isn't to say that you shouldn't consider these, but moreso why I decided against it. Plus Amazon prices fluctuate too much, but today, $228 is a really good price. My Wildpeak AT3W's were (and still are) $258/tire at Sam's...plus $20/tire for installation, so I decided to pay the extra $ for a perceived better tire.

I'm sure there are others who can better explain their reasoning for going in another direction, or moving forward to purchase the Pirelli's, so you might want to hear from them first.
