Default Suggestions on tires

Hey guys, I need suggestions on tires. I have a 2012 F-150 FX4 with the appearance package, it has the black 20 inch wheels on it. I am thinking about doing 305/55/20 tires on it and I have had Nitto Trail Grapplers on my last truck and loved them. Therefore I am thinking about doing them again, but I am open to suggestions for whatever people suggest. I have had someone tell me to look into Goodyear Duratrac's and I have thought about either going with Toyo's or Mickey Thompson's. I just want something that lasts for awhile and looks good. I don't use them for there full potential. I may rarely go off roading and etc. Lastly, from what I have been told is, to run 305/55/20's I have to add a leveling kit to the front, anyone with experience or the knowledge on this please help. Thank you, Jason

The tire I have been hearing from Mickey Thompson is the Baja ATZ P3. Anyone run these, or have heard anything about them?

Pretty sure there are one or two on here running 305/55/20s on stock rims without any lift up front....Toyo ATIIs as I recall, which if you're looking for something that lasts, the Toyos wont let you down. Do a search on the tire size and see what you come up with.

Yea, I've head that the Toyo Open Country's are a pretty good tire. Wasn't to sure on the life of the tire or the aggressiveness of the tire but I will have to check it out. How long have you been running them?

18 months - they shed mud better than any AT I've run before, they're relatively quiet and carry a strong warranty (65k for P metrics and 50k for LTs)
