Tire Help

Jeff@Spartan · Oct 21, 2011

Since I've officially decided to lower the truck back down to 5.4 coils and no rear block, I am in need of tire advice. I am going to be putting factory 20's on my truck in a week or two. I will be running them through the winter/spring at least and I am needing an AT tire to put on them JUST IN CASE we get another winter like we did last year here in north GA. The problem is, with the truck lowered my options are limited. I would prefer to go with something that is no wider than 12" since I am going to be running 8" wide factory 20's. I would think anything taller than 33" is going to be out of the question. 305/55/20 Toyo AT's fill the fender wells up pretty good lowered. I would go with that size again, but that tire is almost 12.5" wide and I don't want to go that wide.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I ran the 305/50r20 on my 4wd 2002 truck at stock height, didn't look too bad. Would look better under your slightly lowered truck.

Are those AT's? I have a set of 305/50/20 Toyo Proxes, but didn't want to run them as a winter tire.

Those were Cooper H/T Plus, wouldn't call it an A/T, but they worked surprisingly well on the snowy roads here in Utah and South Idaho, cut some low 1.7's at the track with them as well.

Should be able to find plenty of tires that size in an A/T

285/60r20 goodyr duratracs. They are 33x11.5 wide. Great tire.
