BLACK BEAR MUD TERRAIN - 60,000+ KMS - RAM 2500

RAM 2500 - big, heavy, built with purpose.

Black Bear 35x12.5R20 125Q 12PR MT.

Fitted in 2024. Balanced right. Run right. 60,000km later…still quiet, still strong, still goin

Not just fitted - fitted and balanced correctly by an experienced tyre fitter.

Because from the very beginning, that matters.

Get the fundamentals right at install, and everything that follows has a better chance of going the distance.

This wasn’t a show build. This was a working setup.

The kind that sees:

• Long highway kilometres

• Heavy loads

• Regular towing

• Real off-road use

The kind of vehicle that exposes weaknesses quickly… if they’re there.

Fast forward 60,000 kilometres…

Same tyres. Same vehicle. Same workload.

But here’s what tells the story:

• 60,000+ kilometres travelled

• More than half the tread still remaining

• Still maintaining a quiet on-road ride

For a Mud Terrain tyre - especially on a RAM 2500 -  that’s not normal.

So what’s made the difference?

It comes down to three things:

Correct fitment. Quality construction. And how it’s been run.

It started with getting it right from day one.

The tyres were:

• Professionally fitted

• Precisely balanced

• Set up to ensure correct load handling and smooth rotation

Because poor balancing or incorrect fitment doesn’t just affect comfort - it accelerates wear, creates vibration, and shortens tyre life.

This setup avoided all of that from the outset.

Then it was managed properly.

Tyre rotations weren’t skipped - they were consistent. Keeping wear balanced across all four tyres.

Tyre pressures weren’t guessed - they were adjusted.

• Higher pressures when towing

• Correct pressures for daily driving

• Reduced pressures off-road when required

And just as importantly - re-inflated immediately when back on sealed roads.

Because running low pressures longer than needed is one of the fastest ways to reduce tyre life.

They understood the vehicle.

Not just how it drives - but what it carries.

• Vehicle weight

• Load distribution

• Towing demands

All factored into how the tyres were run.

Because more weight requires more pressure to maintain the correct contact patch.

And they didn’t overlook the basics.

The vehicle itself has been kept in check:

• Regular wheel alignments

• A properly set-up suspension system

• Ongoing servicing to maintain correct geometry

Because if alignment or suspension is out - even slightly - tyres won’t wear evenly.

And if they don’t wear evenly, they don’t last.

The result?

A Mud Terrain tyre that has:

• Worn evenly across the tread

• Maintained its structure under load

• Delivered consistent ride quality

• And remained quiet - even after 60,000km

That last part is key.

Because most Mud Terrains get louder as they wear.

This one hasn’t - and that comes back to correct setup from day one and disciplined maintenance.

This is what real performance looks like.

Not hype.

Not a claim.

Just a RAM 2500 doing serious kilometres - and a tyre delivering every step of the way.

The takeaway?

The Black Bear Mud Terrain is built to handle it.

But this story proves something more important:

Fit them right. Run them right. And they’ll go the distance.
