Was on the fence about selling my truck for a 2500, but deal fell through over the weekend so I'm going to hold onto this for a while longer. Tire size is going to be 33x12.5r20 in the RT or 305/55/20 in AT2. What have you guys run or heard of between the two. I think both really look great and should wear great, just trying to get some feedback before I order a set.

 

Here's a pic of my truck for reference.

If you are stuck on that size I would go with the RT's. I personally like the look better, and they are 7lbs a tire lighter than the AT2's for a more aggressive tread. If you are interested in saving weight I would go with the 295-55-20 at2 coming in at 60lbs, but for the added aggressiveness I would definitely go with the RT.

 

305-55-20 AT2: 74lbs

 

305-55-20 RT: 67lbs

 

295-55-20 AT2: 60lbs

Well putting more thought into this, if I went AT2 I'd probably have to go 295/55 so I'm not rubbing all over the place. Thats news to me as well. I guess I just figured the AT's would be lighter than the RT's.

 

For what it's worth, I drive mostly highway so I really like the tread life warranty on both tires.

I have the AT2s and I really like them. Besides the weight that has been touched on, they ride well on the highway for a more aggressive tire. I haven't had them in the mud yet but they served me well during the winter. I've only put around 5000 miles on mine but so far I like them.

I went with the AT2 in 295/55/20. Still have some rub at full lock, but the 305's would've rubbed like crazy. Very happy with the turnout.

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
