BF goodrich makes some good tires also mickey thompson, i am soon to be putting some mickey thompson MTZ tires on my truck. I had sport kings on my older dodge, they are cheaper but held up suprisingly well and had a pretty agressive tread for an AT tire.

Yes, I like Mickeys as well. But my tire is a P275/60R20 factory tire and rim. What size tire can i get away with without using any lift kit? From what someone was telling me i could possibly go one size larger then 275. Is this true?

I just put a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 03 Qcab 4x4. They are 305/50/20's. Very smooth ride and no road noise town or highway. I paid $1040 mounted and balanced.

you should be able to run a 33 with no lift on stock rims. which i do believe is a 285? I have my front end leveled and am going to run 35's

If I was going to get a new set of shoes for my truck I would get Goodyear Silent Armor tires. They have a fairly aggressive tread pattern butwith 20 inch rimsyoudon't have the variety you have with a 15 inch rim.

If they made them in 20 inch rims my favorite off road tire based onthousands of miles driving offroad I choose Dunlop Mud Rovers.

The dunlop mud rovers are great tires seem to last forever I had over 40,000 on my last set with my old truck and they still looked great over 60% tread. I am personally leaning toward the terra grapplers myself, I do like the duelers, and the pro-comp x-terrains, extreme at's and even there regular all terrains but they are pricey.
