Ram Promaster 1500 Tires

The 1970s-era Dodge Tradesman full-size van was pretty tired and long in the tooth when it was finally dropped from the lineup. In 2014, it was at last replaced with the RAM Promaster 1500. The RAM ProMaster is Dodge’s full-size commercial van, derived from the Fiat Ducato. The RAM ProMaster features a Pentastar V6 and modern features like rearview camera, blind spot alert, collision warning and emergency braking. In Europe, the Fiat Ducato was also badge-engineered as Peugeot, Talbot, Alfa-Romeo, Opel and Vauxhall; interestingly, it’s the single most popular vehicle in Europe for motorhome conversions. American versions of the Ducato-Promaster are powered by Chrysler’s 3.6L Pentastar V6 and are capable of 17 mpg city-24 mpg highway. The Promaster 1500 is available with a choice of wheelbase lengths; all versions have the high roofline that enables a person to stand upright. The Promaster 1500 is sold as a work van and is not available with passenger seating, other than the two bucket seats up front.

Year-round grip is another strong point, thanks to an all-season tread pattern with wide circumferential grooves to resist hydroplaning along with rippled and stepped grooves for improved traction in winter conditions. We give the Continental Vancontact A-S a SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction. The tread design, square shoulder, and wid
