Well after much debate and searching on and and searching some more, calling tire shops, finally pulled the trigger on some Nitto Terra Grapplers in a 275/65/20. Ive always been a BFG fanboy (4 sets of KOs) and when i bought this truck it had 325/60R20 BFGs on it. They are entirely too big for the truck without aftermarket wheels and smack the UCA and frame.

So after looking and looking and ALMOST pulling the trigger on some 305/55/20s, I read they they do rub, I just didnt want any more rubbing! Then i read about a few guys putting some 275/65/20s on which are the equiv of a 34"X11" tire. and right now I have basically a 35.5" x 13" tire. Not to mention they are cheaper! I was super excited when every review said they didnt rub. This is my first set of Nittos, I hope they dont let me down :/ I sure hope they are right, they go on tomorrow on this truck

The terra grapplers are a nice all terrain tire. You should get real good mileage out of them. I've been running nittos for a long time and have always had good luck with them. The trail grapplers is what I've had on my last couple trucks and my brother and step dad on theirs. You should be pretty happy with them.

I have the same ones. Nice tires. You'll like them too. Is your truck leveled? Any thoughts on recalibrating your odometer?

Oh yeah i love them too man!! Yeah i have a 2.5" AutoSpring leveling kit. As for my odometer, i have a XCal2 programmer that u just enter the revs/mile for the tire and it calibrates your odo. Its exact with my gps speed. Plus i have 87 performance and towing tune on it

I had the Goodyear duratracks. Good tire. Had the 10 plys. But I wanted somethin a little more aggressive. So I got the toyo open country's. Bad ass. Snow sand mud. Water. Anything. Rocks. These tires have gone through it all little pricy but I think u get what u pay for. I def love the toyo open country.
