Trying to decide between the 275/70/18 and 285/65/18. I really want the extremes so that would mean the 285's. Let's see some pics of both. I don't have a level kit and don't plan on getting one. Thanks.

285/65/18 would be my choice. I wouldn't want the non extreme ATII's.

Yeah I didn't realize how nose high I would be with a 2.5" RC level. It's 1.5" higher front to back. I am about to order a block for the rear. Wish I would left it stock but I am in too deep now. Probably will get Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks before too long. Been hearing good things about those 5100s.

Really wish they made this tire in a size close to a 34 for 18" rims. Like a 295/70/18, maybe they will soon. Just need something between a 275/70 and a 285/75. I like the looks and tread wear warranty of these over nittos, but the nittos come in the size hg want.

I just got my 275/60r20 OC a/t II installed last night. I was worried I would regret not going with an extream size, but I am very pleased. I've only driven a few miles so far. I'm going on a trip this weekend and will post an update next week on how they ride. Oh, I also got bilstein 5100 installed earlier in the week at the 1.5" setting. Very happy so far... only time will tell now! I'll post pictures as soon as I get some good ones too.

0.9% is for suckers!

1" taller isn't really an extreme size. Overall dia its 2.2" but thats on both sides of the tire
275/55/20 is 6.0 inch sidewall and 31.9" tall
275/65/20 is 7.0 inch sidewall and 34.1" tall
its the weight you will notice the difference in.

The 275/60/20 Toyo AT II's are actually P rated tires and weigh 43.4 lbs. Not that bad. As compared to the LT's and E10's that run 55 - 78 lbs.

I went from the 275/55/20 Pirellis to the 285/75/18 Toyo's at 65 lbs. and felt the difference some. The 3.73 rear end certainly mitigated the felt weight difference for me.
