I love my Nitto G2s. We had over 10 inches of rain in Dallas this last week and I think they have preformed great in the rain and standing water. They are very close to the stock tires in terms of noise. They are slightly louder at anything over 55mph, but nothing drastic. Very good tires so far.

I'll go look online but I believe that's an E rated tire. But to answer your question; Sure, I wouldn't mind that size. A little wider would be better, but all the 285's I see are E rated.

i dont have any experience with the nittos. but i have always loved the Toyo AT2s...ive had 2 sets of the them in 35x12.50x20... Both sets had roughly 30k on them when i sold the vehicles and neither were close to being done...one was a leveled f250 6.0 and the other a lifter jeep wrangler...If i was not buying American force wheels for the F150, the toyo would be my choice again but the budget was spent on wheels . So i had to go with Amp Tires

If you're looking for something quiet, they're out there. IMHO Michelin (generally) makes the best tires hands down. I also like Continental sport tires.
Go on Tire Rack and have a look.
The Michelin LTX is a super tire and comes in flavors. The "Premier" version looks like a smooth runner to me.
I've had the LTX M/S on my Ridgeline for 10 years and 130K. My dad's had 'em on his Tundra and Highlander too.

I have the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 and love it. In Utah we get lots of rain, snow, ice, etc... in the winter. These tires have been flawless and had tons of traction. I’d recommend them. Mine are E-Rated due to the size (295/65R20 I think) and I still really like them.

So, you don't find the E rated tires ride too hard? What pressure do you keep them at? Most recommend 80psi.
