20" load range E tires ? Ride ?

I'm thinking of buying a 2005 2WD Dodge Cummins. I can get 20" rims for such a truck.

Does anyone know of a 20" load range E tire ? For a reasonable price ?

Is anyone running such a tire and if so, what is the ride like ?

Are those the low profile 'sport truck' tries ? I was looking at some the other day while aiting at Les Schawb, some Toyos as I recall, and they look interesting. They were directional regarding grooves so I'd guess they'd do well in rain, and they had fairly deep lugs on the edge of the tire, something that suggests that they might do ok in limited off road conditions. More siping would have been nice. They didn't have any that would fit my truck, and I didn't check to see if larger rims would make them work.

So is it safe to tow a fiver with D rated tires ? The pinweight on my fiver is a little under 2000 pounds. The truck will be a 2WD club cab Cummins.

What tires are you using ? Do you tow with them ? How do they ride compared to a stock tire/wheel ?

*Thanks for replying*

Tires are Toyo Proxis S/T 305/50/20. Never towed with them. Ride is a little more harsh, not much though.

I love my 20's and Nittos. I've towed pretty heavy with them and not had any problems at all... Check my gallery too. I've added fender flares since those pics because all 20x10 wheels stick out too much on a Dodge...
