Yea, they only come in a M/T....there is a Nitto Terra Grappler that is an A/T and then there is also the Ridge Grappler that just came out and that is kind of like a hybrid between an A/T and a M/T. I would imagine that it is to compete against the Toyo Open Country R/T. Toyo and Nitto are sister companies anyways. I think the Ridge Grappler is only available in a 37" for a 20" rim right now though. They are supposed to have a bunch of sizes coming out by the end of the year.....whenever that may be.

295/60R20 Cooper STT Pro's (34 x 11.5) ... 1.5" level w/ 2" rear blocks. No rubbing, no nothing. They fit perfectly on the stock wheels and are "just right" in height/width if you ask me.

I defiantly like the look of the bigger tire but for me I have learned , looks are great but power and mpg are more important to me now .... Go with 33"s if you want to keep your mpgs and power , If you go to 35's you will notice a power loss and huge mpg unless you get a tuner .... Might not look as good but still gives you plenty of clearance and you loose little .... 33's on 20's are gonna give to 3"more clearance thana 33 on 17's like mine

Everyone always talks about the "power loss" with bigger tires, and speaks about it as if to say that their truck's 0-60 time is now 1.5x what it used to be. Again, I admit that I can tell very slightly that my truck doesn't accelerate as well as with stock tires, but by NO means is my truck "slow" now compared to when it was stock. The difference just isn't that great, seriously. I'd be very curious to see if anyone has actually done any track runs with stock tires, then taken their truck back with new bigger tires on it and re-run the track to see what the true, actual "hit" was by going to the bigger tires.

Now, MPG's ... that's undeniable, and is definitely something to consider. But all this "power loss" talk ... while I know it does exist, I just can't put a factor on it that makes me think it is worth considering for real-world evaluation.

17's give you 3 more inches of clearance if you don't run tires on your rims.
