What tires do you recommend

I had 35/12.5r20  Toyo R/T's on my '15 HD and they sucked. I also felt while they looked good, the 12.5 width was a sacrifice in drivability. I had 305/55r20 on that truck first (hankook RT10's) and they drove and rode much better @ 12.3" width. As far as Toyo's my R/T's on anything slightly wet slid all over. I'm talking paved roundabout. I think it was the compound. Or the sipeing or lack of it? I didn't want to go toyo again so I went with the Falken Wildpeak's this time. 295/60r20. Only a couple hundred miles so far so not much of an opinion yet but I'm happy with the noise level. I also think that 34" tall and 11.75" width is a good place to shoot for bigger looks with decent ride and handling. That said, it does take turbo diesel torque to turn these pigs and your MPG's will drop 1 or 2.

You’re correct, IMHO, Toyos and Nittos are a fad, they’re horrible/dangerous in the rain. I went with KO2’s and couldn’t be happier. The first thing I noticed when switching to KO2’s was that they don’t slip on wet paint stripes in parking lots. Falken Wildpeaks have great reviews too, congrats!
