Ok, here's the deal, I can get what ever tires I want for my truck. I'm leveled right now, and I'm running 275/55/20 good years. I'm thinking about going with 285/65/20 Nittos. Is this too big? Or should I go 275/60-65/20 BFGs. I want something quiet, yet aggressive.i I know I know, same old question. I am leveled with Bilstein 5100s on all 4 corners

285/65/20's will look awesome. It all depends if you want to go a little wider with the 285 vs 275 and then taller with the 275/65 vs 275/60...I believe the 285/65/20 would look best out of those options. Are you not considering 295/60/20 for any reason?

I really don't want too wide of a tire, but I also would like to keep the cost down.

Sounds like 275/65/20 is your best bet then! Haha. Although the 285/65/20 Terra's aren't bad...the 285/65/20 BFG A/T's are pricey as hell though.

Yeah , I would really like the BFGs, but I just can't spend that much on tires. I just found a deal on some Bridgestone revos. Hell, I hate having to make these easy decisions! I might just order the Nittos 285/65/20s and get them on Wednesday

Yeah, it would depend on the type of tire you want too. Nittos would be a good choice to get though.

On the phone with my tire guy. He thinks the 275/65/20s are going to rub. Might have to do a little trimming
