Default Tire Help

I bought a set of 275/65R20 Michelin LTX AT2, however I am concerned the 10 ply tire will be too stiff of a ride.

I am contemplating going down to a 275/60R20 for the 8ply strictly based on potential ride quality.

I will be putting the quicklift from Rancho on all around, so im not sure if that matters. I will never do any towing.

What say you, those that went 10 ply do you have regrets? What should I expect?

If your happy with the overall diameter of the 60 series, go with that. It's 14 pounds lighter per wheel! Plus you get a tread life warranty, not available in the larger sizes.

I'm approaching a similar dilemma, and realizing it really comes down to what you think you'll love; the look, the ride quality, and/or the economy of it all. Since you're going to lift your truck, you'll potentially have decent sized gaps between your fender and the tire. I suppose it's a matter of what you think looks good, and if the ride quality is sufficient. Maybe one way to approach it is, which aspect makes you smile most?

The 275/65R20 comes with a 60K Mile Warranty. I just keep going back and forth here.
