Need Tire Help

Marty · Jun 28, 2012

I am putting 20x10's on my truck. I want to run a ~ 33x12.5x20 (325/50/20) tire. I am willing to go up or down half an inch and wider if need be. I can only find ONE tire in that size. I don't want to put a leveling kit on my truck to run 35's.

I can only find one tire that is there.

I don't like it, plus it's crazy expensive for what it is.

There are a bunch that are 32" tall... maybe some pics of 20x10's with 32" tall tires on it will help me decide.

33x12.50 would be a 305/55 ....the 325 is a 13.50 tire and 305/50s are the 32x12.50

:whs: I have 305/55/20 tires with 20x10 wheels on my 2wd truck. The 305/55/20 are about 33" tall

305/55/20 = 33 x 12 x 20
325/50/20 = 33 x 12.8 x 20
305/50/20 = 32 x 12 x 20

Basically I want to run a 33" tire +/- .5". Unless someone has pics of a 32" tire.

I will run 12 wide, 12.5 wide. Doesn't matter.

That is exactly what we said....

My 325/50x20 ATZs are marketed as a 13.50 tire. Your smart enough to know that tire sizing is never "true".

The ~ in my original post was supposed to be a "roundabout" figure.....

But like I clarified, looking for a 33x12 or 33 12.5

The 305/55/20 Nitto DuraGrappler has been on a couple of my customers trucks and with good reports. I like the way they look, I want something street/At... not quite a full street tire or full a/t... I do a lot of beach driving.

Thoughts?

Have you by chance looked at the dune grapplers? They don't seem overly aggressive yet are still an a/t

UPINSMOKE · Jun 28, 2012

325/50/r20 is an extremely rare and expensive tire size, as they are labeled 13.50. The only tires made in that size are atz's and the dick cepeks who are owned by mt.

I go with either of the other two sizes you've mentioned.

If I had a 10 wide rim I'd probably go with cooper zeon ltz in 305/55/20. Good hybrid all-terrain tire. Nice looking tread pattern, good traction, and I don't think they are too expensive from what I remember. Load range e as well.

Check em out. Or text kris Myers... He had a set

I ALMOST got those. I just don't drive the truck enough to benefit from them as much as other people would so I got a more aggressive tire instead.

You saw my truck the other weekend. 305 50 r20 on 20x9s. had 305 55 cooper zeon ltz but they got reaaaaal bald and i found a set of lightly used neato terra grapplers.

I really like my Falken Wildpeak. I took off Toyo MT.

AKHILF · Jun 28, 2012

I have a couple friends with the cooper zeon ltz's and they all love them. I was thinking about pulling my lift and running them.

1000 times better looking. My best advice is to rotate religiously. I've got 20k on mine and will probably get 80k out of em.

Marty · Jul 5, 2012

Went with dick cepek Fc2. 325/50/20. They say 33x13.5 on the tire but they are certainly taller then my other two sets of 33s.

They only rub on passenger side inner fender. I might pop the front end up "
