Default Deciding in tires

After months of research in finally pulled the trigger on some nitto g2's 305/55r20xl the p rated tire that weighs 50lbs. I've been very careful to find lighter tires because of my 3.31 gearing. I don't want to really bog the truck down or kill mpg's. It is the 3.5eco. I'm worried they won't be big enough I really wanted to get a 34' tire but that are all e range. Any thoughts on this? Or any larger tires that have lighter weights? Or more p rated tires?
Thanks guys

I got 20x9 fuel cleaver wheels with LT33x12.50 atturo m/t ...It killed my mpg's. I also have the 3.31 and 3.5ecoboost. Those tires are very aggressive and make lots of noise goin down the road. I love the look of em...but I prolly would've opted for a all terrain tire if I had to choose all over again. On a side note this truck constantly gets looks and compliments all the time.

I had fuel trophys and they seem to be a few pounds heavier than a stock 20.


Tanner, just put some 20x10s with 38x12.50x20 on there

I'd like a true 34" or slightly over 18" that wasn't 70+ lbs. I see the Nitto Exo Grapplers 285/70R18 is 60lbs but not sure on true height.
