Default Looking for tires.

Hi all. I'm looking for tires for the f150 I order. They come with 275/55/20. I'm looking at the goodyar Wrangler DuraTrac size 275/65/20 will I have to change anything on the truck or I can just put them on and drive off.

I was considering that size, but the price difference was $80 per tire! The slightly taller tire isn't worth that premium, IMO.

Also, consider ride comfort and noise too - the Duratrac is an LT tire with more plys than a P-rated tire. I love the look of AT tires, but don't want intrusive noise or a bad ride. That's why I'm going with Michelin LTX M/S2s - they aren't that great to look at, but the ride quality, rain and snow performance, and 70K tread warranty are hard to beat.

I found nitto tires same size as my stock. My stock are P275/55/20 111S that's what it says on my stock tires. The nitto I'm looking at are 275/55/20 117S according to there web site. What's the different between the P or LT or in this case with the nitto there isn't a letter before the 275
