Any big "P" rated AT tires? 275/65/20 etc?
I've searched but most of the threads are a few years old. I have a 2018 XLT Screw 4x4 with the stock chrome 18s that I was looking to put bigger tires on. Still not sure if I'll keep the chrome 18s or buy black 20s, but either way I'm wanting bigger tires. I've mostly searched 20s and it looks like staying completely stock suspension the biggest I can go is 275/65/20 or maybe 285/65/20. If I stayed a touch smaller 275/60/20 there are really nice options like the P rated Falken at3w for like $160. I can't find anything similar in 275/65/20. They are all LT rated and $250+. I only rarely tow a 2500lb boat so I really don't need LT rated do I? I'd rather have the low weight, better ride, and lower price of P rated if I could find any!
Have there been any new models introduced lately that fit my criteria? Or is there something I just haven't found? I saw something about XL rating but I can't find much in these sizes either.
Thanks.

I am not aware of any major brands making P rated tires bigger than stock other than P275/60R20. The 18" rim is worse because it is 7.5" wide. The stock P275/65R18 is P rated, but all tires outside that size are LT. I had a great deal on 18" sport and backed out due to P rated issue on 18".

The first one on the following link is standard load which IIRC is the same as a P rating. https://tiresize.com/tires/Nitto/Ter...-275-65R20.htm

There are certainly fewer options for larger P rated tires. I have P265/70/18's on my truck, that is a 32.6" tire. The next larger size I considered was LT 275/70/18 which is a little over 33". That is as big as I want. The LT's would have cost less than $100 more total, and I think I will go to the LT 275/70/18 next time.
