Ran them through any mud yet? I'm not too worried about snow here, though obviously if you have to put up with those conditions the duratracs are the way to go. I have yet to decide between them or Toyo MTs. Hell thought about BFG KM2s but idk how well they wear. I know the RTs will handle dirt i just have yet to see how they handle mud. The big side lugs should clean well as much space that's in between them, but i see the middle pretty much gumming up with the buckshot/clay we have down here.

 

This is another reason i switched to 17s, weight. The 285/70/17 RT is 58lbs as opposed to 69lbs for the 33x12.5x20 RT. Though the difference between comparable MTs isn't as much 69lbs to 72lbs. All according to Toyo's specifications anyhow.

 

So is that your city mileage that got cut or overall? Overall would kill me but i do expect to take a hit. Going to try and counter it with exhaust/tune/CAI.

 

I've also given a lot of thought to Mickey Thompson ATZ or MTZ also, just don't know how they wear.

The dirt roads I run down do get muddy and they hold traction very well. Unfortunately I do have to deal with snow, ice, extra....

That is overall milage. I run about 50miles per day most being on the highway. But I do run 75-90mph too at 4500ft+ elevation. I almost went with MTs but the RTs were new and alittle more pavement friendly. That part Im very happy with.

I'll getting a new wheel/tire setup soon. I'm going 275/65/20 on a 20x9 rim. Since the rims are a little wider than stock should I go +1 or +20 offset. I have 2.5" RC level with rear block thx

Stock All Terrain Wheels are 20x9 with a +27 offset with 275/55/20's tires.

 

Your new set up isn't wider, but 2" taller. But if it were me, I would go with the +1 offset on the new wheels. It will push your tires out some, almost making your truck 2" wider. (You would be pushing your wheels outward 26mm, which is close to over inch, but over inch for each wheel)

Oh k I thought the stock wheels were 8.5"

 

The wider stance would be great but would it not cause more of a potential rubbing issue?

The less positive offset (closer to zero), the more you will get your your away from your upper control arm, so less rubbing there. The rubbing from the taller tire will be around your inner fender. Most people can zip tie them back or trim them and be fine

For those of you running an LT rated tire, how harsh is the ride over stock? I have Toyo Open Country At2's (275-60-20) on my stock 20's right now (P rated), but am planning on getting some new wheels in the next few mos and putting on 275-65-20 or 295-55-20 Toyo Open Country AT2 which are LT 10 ply and weigh about 14-17lb more than my current tires. Any real world experience on those sizes and tire sizes/brand as far as ride and mpg loss would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have any pictures up close of this tire. I'm thinking about buying this exact tire. Would be great if I could see the tires on the truck already. I want to move up the the LT tire too because I think I read on here that the LT tire has a different tread pattern than the P rated. Have you seen if the LT275/65/20 has a significantly different tread?

Hard to say, I lifted my truck at the same time. Definitely doesn't have the "Cadillac" ride, but it looks cool, and goes where I need it to
