Hi from Southern California, bought my 17 PW in July of 2017 and just love my truck. It's my 3rd Dodge truck, had 96 1500 regular cab Indy 500LE, a 98 Dakota worst truck ever and now my PW all stock. Looking to get tires soon so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to the group :cheers:

As for tires, there are a lot of choices out there. Here are the official tire poll results for the most popular choices in the Power Wagon community.

The only thing that should be on that list below the Nitto Ridge Grappler is the General X3 and the Ironman. The first few options and those are good picks for these trucks depending on what you want to do!

I'm suprised the Discoverer STT Pros are that close to the Toyo MTs. Interesting.

They’re a lot cheaper than the Toyos.

I see that. Maybe I may go to them next time. The Toyos are just getting more and more expensive each time I get another set!
