Who Sells LT rated Tires Low Profile for 20 inch rim?
I was told today by a dealer there is no such thing as a LT Tire All Terrain, in low profile for 20 inch rim.....Anyone know of any?

I'm looking to lower the Outside Diameter of the Tire, 20 inch rims.
Right now I have P275-60R20, I want to Lower my outside diameter and I need a heavier tire for towing (LT Rating versus a P).
The only way I can lower the outside Diameter and stay with the 20 inch Rims is with Low Profile.
Correct me if I'm wrong...

Cooper Zeon LTZ get some 305/50/20's. They run cheap and are rated for a little over 3000lbs each. Good enough for a 2500 truck. It will be a wider and lower pro than factory. HERE Or you could just stay same width and get lower pro, but IMO that would look dumb. Go wider atleast if you go lower pro, you won't be marking up the rims on curbs and stuff.
They are cheapest of anyone after you include shipping.

I have stock size 275/60/20
if you go smaller in sidewall height, they will look really small if you don't go a tiny bit wider.
Get the 285/50/20 They are 1/2" wider than stock and the overall height drops to a 31.25" compared to 33" stock. You'll want the tiny bit extra width to protect those wheels against any rash.
They are plenty capable for towing. i tow all the time. up to 8,000lbs

Wheres a good place to buy them and have them shipped to Canada.
Are you a beleiver that Smaller OD ( outside diameter) is better for towing?
Do you drive in snow?..If so, are they good in snow?

I think Fast Freddie runs 275/55R20s, but I might be wrong. Those also appear on Avalaches... Here is a thread on that... https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...ifference.html

Try my Link I posted
smaller diameter tire will make towing a tiny bit better because it will make your 3:92 gears seem like 4:10's with 31.25" diameter or your 3:55's act like 3:73's.
i do drive in snow. they were very good. 8/10 IMO
