I've got 20's w/ 305/55 Nittos w/ 2" level kit, it doesn't look low/pro, and I'll offroad w/ the best of ya! Yeah a shorter sidewall = harsher ride but if you have 10 ply tires as you should, you aint got no plush ride as it is!

What is the actual wieght rating for your tire? 3195 lbs each if I recall correctly...for your "10 ply" tire.

My lowley D rated BFG 37" MTs are rated at 3525 lbs each...LOL.

People NEED to get over the way outdated method of describing a tires weight carrying ability by amount of plys...

Would you rather have 10 plys (if half of them are bias and the rest are steel) or 8 plys (if all of them are steel or better)????

The final wieght caring capacity of the tire is what is most important. A 55 profile on a tire that small is for the street. We can go "wheeling" anytime.

Maybe I should reword that better, I want cool tires!!! Something different than the ole' BFG's! Im thinking I want to go up the the 315/75's!

......ohh and dont pimp slap me, I hate anything above a 18" wheel. I think you look gangster otherwise. Sorry you guys with the 20's but Im not down with that.

Pimpslapping a guy named BossHogg or punching him might not be a good idea, He could be 6' 4" 275lbs w/ 9yrs of Brazilian JiuJitsu and Muay Thai Kickboxing, but I dont know, thats a guess. We are all the same size on here though!!

....Oh and who saw the 2nd worse UFC Ive ever seen this past weekend? Ive seen them all, as well as many other organizatgions fight promotions, and that was Booooring!!

I do like the nitto's and the toyo's, I was thinking in that direction anyway. I do like the idea of the cheap coopers and others, but not sure what will look better on my new H2's? Well the machinist just called as I was typing and Im picking them up and taking them to the PC!

Its tire time.......I need all your last votes!

Got these for my winter tires. They are excellent riding and for the 4-5k miles i put on em this winter they seemed like they would wear good. they are a d rated tire though. The only real differnce is the extra sidewall has more squirm than my 35" cepecks on 20" rims.

Well I called around and the coopers arent that cheap in a 35 x12.50. What has a good agressive tread that isnt a mud tire. I run a buch on the hwy and dont want to run into death wobble agian anytime soon. Whats the best A/t or maybe a mud tire that would wear good on the hwy.

...I dont really like the look of the mastercraft, but they are ok. I want something as agressive or more agressive than the bfg!

Check this ones :

GoodYear Wrangler Silent Armor 325/60/18

I am using Toyos MT now and used.....
Toyos AT
Nitto Grapplers
BFgoodrich ATs
BFgoodrich MTs ....Before.

My next set will be the Pirelli or the Armor.
Hope this helps!

Note: Pics in my gallery of my former 4.5 truck with 35s on 20s.
20s looked good but 18 look better on my 06... to me.

pimp

I am running 20's with toyo mt's and I love them. I was not a fan of the bigger rims but that was the only tire/rim size I could get with a 6" Lift. I wanted to stay with my original 17" rims but they couldn't find any toyo's in a 37" tall tire. So I opted to go with the larger rim and I don't regret it! I get so many compliments. There is a guy on here with 40's and 17's and I love the fact that there is so much tire. I was afraid of that when I ordered the 20's that there would be too much rim and no tire. I did see a set of 35's on 20's and it wasn't my taste too much rim.. and no tire.

See, now THAT looks nice! Perfect combo of tire and wheel size. If I ever get another tow rig I might just go up to a 6" lift and do something like that. Get myself a 20" wheel and then get a set of Kumho MT KL71s in the 37x13.5x20" flavor. But that is too tall IMO for a rig used for towing. Not that I get to use my trailer much anyway
