I run 38/15.50R20s DC Mud Country tires......about the same as Pocket's tires in price.

Could be worse if I wanted the 42/14.50R20 BFG KM2, $671 each

Even the 325/60R18s on my 07 are ~$300 each

My last set of BFG's were $430 each (they now go for over $450 each), and only lasted 25K miles. Needless to say, I was pissed.

And that dear friends is why I had a set of stock 16" wheels powdercoated. Uniroyal Liberators in 285/75R16 out the door with road hazard cost me $650 2 years ago and the price per tire as of today has gone up about $2 or $3 maybe. They did GREAT in the snow, have over 50,000 on them with maybe 10,000 more or so. I do 90% highway so that helps.

If you've got the coin for 20" rims & $300 or $400 per tire, have fun with it. I'll go to Hawaii instead for a week, but that's me.
