Depends what your using the truck for. I'm happy with the on-road performance of my Terra Grapplers. Think I may go with Toyo M/Ts next. If you want a tiny taller go with a 275/60R20 over the 275/55R20 stock size.

I want to stay at the same size as my truck is a 2wd and I drive strictly highway and city miles. Put 36k miles on the truck in just over a year. Wanted a little more aggressive look without the decreased milage.

I just swapped out my stock tires with some all terrain Coopers, they ride smooth and make no noise, can't say how long they will last as I just put them on but I like the mildly aggressive tread as compared to the stockers. Those are not stock size but they have them in stock size, also have a $70 rebate on that particular model (AT3)

Those two wants don't typically equate well together. You'll usually have to choose one or the other.
That being said...Michelin LTX M/S2 for highway. 70k mileage warranty. Rolls forever, and you'll likely gain a mpg or two with them in the stock size.
The Nitto Crosstek is a decent comprimise.

It has some sidewall styling that most highway biased tires do not. The reviews I've found seem favorable especially for the price point.
Tires are like a**holes...we all have one and everyone thinks the other's stinks. Choose what makes you happy at the end of the day...but aggressive looks usually mean less mpg.

I Like Tires
Ahh I thought platinum a had an optional 22". Good to know it's just 20.
Geez, about the most common truck tire size next to 265/70R17. So many to list, too many to choose from.
Can't go wrong with the Michelin as listed above.
I also like the Cooper HTP with only 5k less mileage warranty but about 2/3 the cost of the Michelin
Yokohama YK-HTX has same warranty and seems to be a good tire so far.
Bridgestone Alenza or Dueler line.
If I were picking a street tire, those would be my top picks.
