Default Tires

I have a 2.5 inch leveling kit in the front end and the tires can be bigger to fill in some of the wheel well. On it now is 275/60r20. Whats the best tire out there for the money.

You are gonna get 438 opinions on this and NONE are going to mean a damn thing because you haven't even said what you use your truck for. A pavement living truck that tows/hauls a lot is gonna need a completely different tire than a truck you intend to hunt with or have in the mud.

And then, even if we know what you'll be using the tires for, you'll still get 94 different opinions. LOL...

X's 3.

For example, my plans for summertime tire replacement are as follows...i will be going from a bone stock suspension with 265x70-17 Dueler AT III and installing 285x70-17 Dune Grappler, leveling kit, bilstein shocks. Only time this asphalt queen sees trails is winter/spring time camping/fishing trips into the mountains of AZ and local desert trail rides. There is also the yearly hunting trip home to TX.

Like Hammer stated, your needs/wants

You want believe how many discussions you will about tires in this forum if you'll use search . In general, it sounds like AT tires is the right choice for you.

Tough to beat Nitto Terra Grapplers or Toyo Open Country A/Ts for your purposes...
