Since I can't find toyo AT II's in 295/65r20 I was thinking about maybe trying the EXO or terra grapplers in LT285/65R20. The dimensions are close to the toyo and since I'm running them on stock wheels thinking they might work. Also was looking at the terra grapplers in the same size since the are 34.5" tall. The terra grapplers in 35x12.5 are actually slightly smaller than the 285's which is why I'm not really leaning towards that way. Really want the tallest tires possible to fill in the wheel gap since I'll be getting the ready lift stage 4 kit installed. Discount tire won't mount 12.5" wide tires on my stock wheels but i can get it done elsewhere if need be. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

 

I was running 20" Nitto Terra Grappler G2 Tires on my 2011 with Bilstein 4600 Shocks. The Truck's ride was fantastic. The Tires performed great in the Rain, but we don't get any Snow here in Fla so I don't know how they would handle Snow. They were a little noisy but not too bad. I hated to trade the truck with those Nitto tires, I wish I could have kept them instead of the Michelins that came on the new 16. I only got 38000mi on the 20" Michelins that came stock on the 11.

 

Yeah I'm leaning to the G2's since they are the only ones in stock. Still contemplating 285/65 or 35 x 12.5 though.

 

I've got the Terra grappler G2s (295/70) and they're a very nice tire. Been able to use them in all sorts of conditions (mud to snow) and I've never been stuck. I've got about 20k on them and they appear to have about another 20-30k left in them.

 

By any chance could you share a picture? I'd like to see how that size looks on a stock suspension with 20" rims.

Thanks in advance!

 

The Metric sized tires will keep your load rating higher than the floatation tire. If that matters to you.

LT285/65R20 = 3860 lbs per tire
35x12.5R20 = 3195 lbs per tire

Also the LT285 tires will still air up to 80 psi vs the 35x tires only carrying 65 psi. You will have less problems with your TPMS sensors

And the 285s are approved to fit on the stock 8.0" rim but prefer a 8.5" rim. vs the 35x preferring a 10.0" rim You will have less squirm and tire wear if you tow or load heavy.

 

true indeed sir. Went with the 285/65r20 terra grapplers. Will post pics with tires and lift this week. Tires come out to alittle over 34.5 high and 11.5 wide. Should look decent I hope.

 

I have the Terra Grappler G2's on my wife's Durango. They are the only AT tire on the market that for her stock size. They ride just as nice as the SUV "touring" type tires they replaced and have amazing traction in the snow. The only downfall we've noticed is they sing a bit on the highway. Not bad but it's there if the radio is off or turned down. Well worth the compromise to get some real AT tread tires for her size... I think you will be pleased...
