i have 275 65R20 (34 11R20) and they are AWESOME.

no issue with tears (never heard of this).

no decrease in gas mileage (because i kept the same width as stock).

the only change is my speedo is a little off around 70mph, but who cares about that.

my truck is leveled and and went up an inch in height because of the smaller tires.

if you're considering the 33's, you might as well keep the stock 32's.

First post!!! I just ordered those exact tires to put on my KMC Monster wheels. I have stock wheels with 275-70-18 Duratracs now and love them. I have been running these tires for a couple of years now.

I have 275/65R20 (34.1" tall by 11" wide) DuraTracs. I wanted the 285/60R20 but the tire shop only had 2 in stock at the time. Very happy with them, much better than the Scorpions in every aspect except mileage.

Here is my .02...I just priced out new tires..DuraTracs in 285/60/20 average about $330/each...My Cooper Zeon LTZ's in 275/60/20 were $195/each..Understandly some load difference but my Zeon's have an XL load rating..So little more than p-rated yet more comfortable and less stiff than an LT "E" rated tire..Big price difference for a tire that is what .25" wider...Not worth money in my opinion..Oh and the LTZ's look plenty aggressive for me and I purchased based on weeks and weeks of checking reviews..Ok done, thanks

Thanks
