Currently have 295/65r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Been a GREAT tire but looking at something a little lighter and slightly less aggressive.

 

Settling on 275/65r20 in the above group. I had not even considered the Wranger ATs until my tire guy has a pair of used 4300 miles for $800 out the door. Am I overthinking it? Never purchased used tires before and haven't seen many running the Wrangler ATs.

The 295s are 35.1" tall, from the pic you showed you must have the clearance.
The 275s are 34.1" tall so no issue with clearance there.
One of my friends had Wrangler ATs on his Dodge and, his newish Tundra came with those, as well, so they must be relatively decent tires.
You'll be going from an 11.6" tread width to a 10.8" tread width so, definitely lighter perhaps.

I've been on Nitto Terra Grappler 285/65/R18 and they've been good tires for me and quiet, not as aggressive as the Ridge Grapplers. I recently upgraded my wheels and went to 295/70/R17 Toyo Open Country R/T Trails. They're aggressive but not as loud as the Ridge Grapplers and I'm very happy with them. From what I'm hearing from friends and reading they're going to be a more popular option than the Ridges, they also come with a 45,000 mile warranty.

I've found the BFG All-Terrains to be the best tires.
I've been on a few long road trips and no issues with noise.
10,000 miles later and they still look new.
Just get what you like but the BFGs are the best IMO.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
