I would like to level it, just wish the stock bilsteins were adjustable to raise it up a bit, I have the black 20x9 TSS wheels with the 285/55/20, I do go off road every now and then but mainly on trails to ride my atv. So street performance is more important to me. I was thinking of the 285/60/20 cooper XLT, since they are similar to what I have now and just about an inch taller over all. My skid plate is already bent up and I currently have about 1” of space at full lock. The other size I was thinking of was the 275/60/20 nitto Terra Grapplers, I know these fit, both of these tires are about the same price, the grapplers are a little cheaper. I honestly don’t really want to change much, I will do some bilsteins 5100 or the 6112 fronts for that little bit of lift. I just like how my truck handles currently. I drive about 70 miles a day and a lot in Dallas Traffic.

    I got rid of 285/55R20 KO2’s and put on 275/60R20 continental terrain contact AT. They’re an inch taller and slightly more narrow but it’s really not noticeable. I like the ride 100x more than the BFG and I don’t have to keep having them balanced.

    Next go around I am getting the same continental tires but I might give the 275/65R20 (34” tire) a shot in the load range E. my current tires are SL so they’re a lot more comfortable and not heavy.

    Here are the continentals when i first had installed. They are not super aggressive but have performed great and I think they do extremely well in rain.

    I second the 275/65/20. It’s what I run. Fits fine on TSS wheels at stock height.

    5100’s in the front 2.5 lift setting

    BFG KO2’s. But don’t like them. Will be switching to Nitto Terra Grappler G2’s or Falken Wild peak AT3’s

    I just went through weeks of tire research myself. Wanted a tire that will look aggressive, perform excellent in snow and rain but also be quiet, highway and gas mileage friendly. Ended up with Goodyear Ultra Terrains and couldn’t be happier. Also, going to Bilstein 5100s or 6112 is only going to improve your handling/on and off-road feel. They are both better quality shocks than stock regardless of lift.

    I replaced my stock 285/55/20 KOs with 275/60/20 KO2s.
    They ride better than the KOs did and the thinner tire turns better.
    Both the old and new KOs are a little loud on the road.
    I considered a 275/65/20 but it looked too tall and thin.

    285/55/20 32.3" tall 11.2" wide
    275/60/20 33" tall 10.8" wide
    275/65/20 34.1" tall 10.8" wide

    When these KO2s wear out I'll be buying the Cooper AT XLT in 275/60/20..

Plus I didn’t want to worry about going too big since I drive it all the time. But these look great and are still LT.

    I like the way my sport looks with the black TSS wheels.

    Those look badass. One of the main reasons I’m gonna give 275/65 a shot is I have the 3/1 level. My current tires look good but I feel like I need to fill up that wheel well just a tad more

    Thanks mr Mafia, I almost got the 285/60/20, they fit with no mods, they filled up the wheel well just fine. Didn’t rub and they were the cooper AT3 XLT. However they were $200 more for the set, and I liked the way these look. I drive a ton and know that I’m going to need to replace tires in another year and a half, so I’m not wanting to put a ton of money in them, even though I just spent $1263 out the door. There was another 2020 tundra there getting fuel 20” wheels and same size tire as mine, he even said he liked my set up better than his. The 275/65/20 would have fit but I don’t think it looks right without a lift and unfortunately I’m out of spending money says the wife. I’ve spent a bunch this year on my race atv.

    I will say if you have the 20x8 platinum or the sport wheels the 275 looks good. I like the look of the 285 better with TSS wheels it has more room for error for curbs and bulge for protection of the rim. I really liked the 285/60/20, I saw the Radar Renegade RT and that tire looked really good and was just $50 more than what I got however I couldn’t find anyone running them or reviews really and they were only sold by Texas Tire, group of smaller shops here in TX. I drive for vacations all over so there are discount tires everywhere and if I have an issue then they will just replace my tire.
