Thumbs up new tires soon 275/55/20 ... suggestions?

Hi everyone I'm new here. I will soon have to replace the crap scorpion tires on my '12. I've been looking at a few different brands Michelin, hankook, Goodyear & recently found Mickey Thompson Baja stz. Has anyone tried the MT's? Most of the reviews I've read for them seem to be positive except 1 guy was complaining about them being 4-ply???? Are most tires a different ply?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers

PG

IMO what you use your truck for makes a big difference what tires you buy for it.

Just drive on the pavement? Big rock climber? Super bad Winters? etc.
Does gas mileage matter?

Hi, I basically use my truck for a daily driver. Rarely ever do I off road with. The winters here are cold but not too much snow.

I hope that helps

I am in the same boat here! Don't know what to get for my 2012 FX4 with 20".

We got 8" of snow in one day here in Nashville this year. I had NItto Terra Grapplers on my Tahoe and I loved them. Kinda want something more aggressive but don't want a lot of road noise.

I had them on my Z71 Tahoe and I loved them! That's why I'm torn between them or the Trail Grapplers.

Exactly. Just bought an 08 that the dealership put brand new tires on, but they are street tires. Getting ready to switch with a friend who bought an 09 with brand new all terrain tires on it. he hates the sound they make, and will never drive the truck off road, I want the all terrains, because I do mild off roading regularly.
