I have 20' with 275/60/20 Michelin at2 on it. I'm wanting a more aggressive at that will work with my 5.4 and a 3.55 rear. My truck is 4x4 with billsteins set at .75 up front. I'm open to any ideas. Thanks.

Any kind of mileage expectations you want fulfilled?

Do you want to keep the same size?

Do you want an LT-Metric tire, or stay with the P-Metric?

I'd like it to ride ok. I pull zero turn mowers on a trailer sometimes. D rated tires I guess. E may be pushing it a little. Mileage really doesn't matter that much. I'd be willing to look at other sizes that won't rub.

If all you pull is a zero turn mower than P-Metrics will be fine and give you better MPGs and ride quality. In that case I think sticking with the size you have would be best as it's the tallest tire you can fit without lift and still stay P-Metric.

Personally I like the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac. I got 50k miles out of mine and had zero noise, and did great off-road.

The Nitto Terra Grappler AT is another popular option

Toyo AT2 is popular

The BFG AT T/A KO2 has just come out and it comes in LT-Metric Load Range D in your size LT275/60R20 and it's the only LT tire in that size available.

Cooper Discoverer ATP has a good mileage warranty and at a great price.

Those are a few of my suggestions, sorry I couldn't narrow it down more lol.

There is no need to go with LTs towing anything the truck can safely handle. The truck stick comes with a P rated tire and has its tow rating set with those tires so replacing them with a different P rated tire will still provide for safe towing to whatever the factory says your truck can pull.

I'm running P275/60R20 Terra Grapplers and I have towed from a empty 5X8 utility trailer to a 20' bay boat to a car hauler with a Chevy Colorado and never had a issue.
