Best 20in tires

My Michelin's have gone 50K in almost 6 yrs but as of today they are done - one has a large bulge in it. Any suggestions for replacement? I may just get these again (Michelin LTX A/t2 275/65/20E). It seems the selection is limited in the 20in rim size and needless to say no one around here has anything in stock. I was probably going to hit up tirerack unless you guys have some cool ideas

Goodyear Silent Armors were ok, but were replaced with LTX A/T2s... so do the math on that.

I had a set of terra grapplers once. Didn't like them. 15k miles 1/2 tread already gone. I think they are a softer compond or something.

I was able to find some LTX A/T2's today so I got them. They are not the coolest looking tire, but they sure do ride nice. As a bonus, I made it to the shop without the one tire exploding. Thanks for the advice - wish I had a bit more time to explore the options, but the Michelins have been good to me.

I'm running the Goodyear Wrangler AT Adventure Pro-Grade with Kevlar LT275/65/R20
They had the highest ratings on most sites I checked like tirerack etc. for this size.
So far I think they are the best tires I have had ride, noise, stability and dry roads.
No off road, wet or snow/ice use yet.

A few winters ago I drove the Michelins in ice and snow. Some big rigs were having trouble. In 4 wheel high I was doing fine. I had the Wranglers when I got the truck and was unhappy with their wear - at 24K mi, they were done. I don't know what the previous owner did to them and they were not the Kevlar ones.

I have had a set of the plain Goodyear AT's and they wore fast, I had a set of duratrac's and I did not like them, they had too much sidewall flex and were poor for pulling and handling, I think the wear was going to be poor also they looked about 1/2 gone after 13K

I have seen the Toyo Open Country on a couple of new trucks with 20s. Anybody tried those?

I've got the Toyo open country M/Ts and will be buying another set. These have lasted longer than any tire I've ever had, E rated 10 ply 35x12.5x20LT.
