Looking for Wheel/Tire Upgrade Opinions
Funny, I just pulled the 295/55R 20 BF Goodrich Baja off my 2019 Lariat yesterday because of the highway noise and mpg.
went with Cooper 275/55R20 and sold off the Baja for $200. Much quieter and the aggressive look is still there though somewhat diminished.
I'm not going offroad and at my age peace and quiet are more important than a macho appearance. My macho appearance left me a few decades ago! 😄
FWIW, the 295/55 fit well with no rubbing.

If you are more selective about what tires you use you can avoid the MPG and noise issues. I am running 315/70R17 Goodyear Territory MT's that are only 53 lbs each, and on a 17" wheel, were lighter than my stock 275/55R20's on the stock 20" wheels. MPG's barely changed. Before that I was running 315/70R17 Load Range C KO2's that was 63 lbs, but my 17" wheels were much lighter than 20" wheels and so my setup was probably 20 lbs lighter than yours even with the heavier tires.
