Thanks, here's a rear/front shot so you can see the stance. Keep in mind I'm running 12.5" wide tire.

Looks really good! Yeah I went with 285's so that's like a ten isn't it? I can never remember. I'm only going with a two inch level so that's why not super high or wide.

Ok, here's the deal. I don't tow so I don't need LT. I decided to go with a change and not buy the Atturo. I don know enough about them nor did any shops. I went with the Toyo AT2. He's going to charge me $40 for using my new tires for 3 days. That's not wat I had in mind as I expected worse. Also Toyo is a much better established company and I know what I'm getting. Youtube showed issues with the Atturo balancing, etc.

What are your thoughts on the Toyo AT2's?i also went 275 60 20 because it's actually a 33. 285 55 20 is 32.4.

Toyos are good and I believe 60,000 mile warranty.

LT tire is designed for load as well as off road sidewall protection in rough terrain. Not so much towing but would help if the tongue weight was extreme.

Damn, now that I think about it, should I have gotten the RTs? Do you think 275 60 20 is ok as a 33"? I can't lift it anymore without going full lift which I'm not planning any time soon. I'm just afraid that any larger will cause me to rub.

I'm not planning on anything to rough as I've had my fair share of repairs with my lifted Silverado some years back. I work to hard to be paying for these things. I guess that's just me getting old. 😂

The RT is probably more what you're looking for. As I don't think you are going with the extreme version of the AT2 tire. And 90% of rubbing is the front plastic on the front bumper. You know longer have one so I wouldn't worry much about rubbing.

I am a huge Toyo fan, ran them for years. But I didn't feel like dropping 1600 on rubber this go around. There are some good options out there for the money. The Falken AT3w or new MT, Cooper ST-pro or maxx, Nitto ridge grappler. Is what I looked at before making my decision on what to try this go around. I ended up with the Cooper as they where the lightest of the bunch. As I paid attention to that this go around to keep the most mpg I could.

Also after it was all said and done I saved 25% price wise going with a tire other then Toyo. Just food for thought.

I have 305/55/20 Toyo AT2's and absolutely hate them. They look good, they aren't too loud, and have good grip in dry weather and offroad. However, once the tiniest bit of liquid hits the ground, they absolutely SUCK. I have a very hard time not spinning from a stoplight. It is really that bad. They have done this from day one. Any site you find or any review you read, most will say the same thing. I was in a jam and didn't have a chance to get anything else in the time I needed the tires in. I have regretted it since.

The Falken Widpeak's will be on the truck as soon as possible. I'm not even going to let the AT2's wear out. They are not safe.
