Gonna place my tire order tomorrow
OK.. I know some of you are sick of my tire questions.
I am going with the Toyo AT2's. I just cant pull the trigger on the size.
But one last time before I place my order... Will I be disapointed in the size if I go with 275/60/20s? Will I be disapointed in the MPGs if I go with the 275/65/20s? I drive a lot of hwy... about 20k per year... if I lose 2mpg that would be around 400 bucks a year or 33 bucks per month for larger tires.
Trying to weigh out the two negatives and choose the lesser of two evils. I have looked at so many photos my eyes have crossed... Some look great with the 60s and some look like it just isnt enough. Some look great with the 65's and some look like it is too much tire for stock hieght.
Help me decide... I feel goofy because I bounce back and forth.
Right now my school of thought is to get the 65's and if I do not like them take them back for the 60s after a few days since Toyo has the 500 mile money back deal. It sounds like a hassle though.
Lets hear the pros and cons... one more time.

I'm in your boat Blue, but I'm gonna be way different. I was torn between the Goodyear Duratracs 285-60-20 or the Toyo AT2 Extreme 285-55-20 or AT2 P rated 275-60-20. I don't want to go over 33.5". The cons with the toyo and GY is WEIGHT (except the 275-60 which is a light tire). Those are some heavy tires. My issue with 275-60's is the rather mellow sidewall and don't seem to grab my attention because of the p rating.
As of right now I'm leaning towards the BFG AT 285-55-20. It is 5 lbs lighter than GY or Toyo and more aggressive looking than the 275-60 toyo. It is also rated at 32.5" which is a little taller than the toyo Xtreme 285-55 (32.3"). I don't see anybody on here with them and they have always done me right. Pictures off of Yahoo look pretty good on mostly GM's I've seen, not too many Fords. Now to find a good deal because they are pricey.

A couple of online stores say they have them in stock.
I got called out of town on business so I will order them when I get back. I am going to get the 65s and if I dont like the ride or the MPGs I will take them back per Toyos policy.

Is price a factor? Good year Duratrac has a sweet 285-60-20 or I'm sure Nitto Terra Graps will be in stock with your size ( near same tread pattern and same price as toyo's).
