Default Not ANOTHER tire thread!

Yes. Original Hankook 275/55R20 wearing out at about 45000 miles.
2019 STX 4x4 stock wheels, stock suspension.
Looking at a few different tires BUT first have to decide on tire size. I’d like to fill the wheel wells in a little, extra height not a concern, I do tow a small (under 5K#) TT. No rubbing acceptable. No real off roading, but bad roads, mild off reading while towing.
I've read most every tire thread over the past 5 years.
285/60R20 seems to work well.
I've read that 305/50R20 would even work.
Tire size is my immediate focus but specific tires recommendations appreciated. I plan on spending no more than about $250/tire base cost. Tire weight is also considered, these PA backroads pound the tires & truck.

Haven't bought any tires in the last 6 months, but $250 a tire seems to be rather limiting. That 275/60/20 is a great size that doesn't rub, I had that size on a '17 I had.
Besides the Falkens Jon mentioned, Toyo makes a good tire.
Discount Tire has/had UltraTerrains, made by Goodyear just for Discount.

For an inexpensive tire I would go with a Kenda Klever AT2. Not sure if it is available in the size you are considering.

Good tire for on-road. Not so great for any real off roading or lots of gravel roads.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that, for a specific tire, snow & ice rated is extremely preferred, even if I do use dedicated snow tires on their own rims. Initially though, I’m most focused on tire size to limit the search.
