Default whats everyone putting on their big horn stock 20s?

My stock tires 275/60/20 are worn out. Seems like a bad tire size to find. What is everyone recommending for an aggressive look but decent road manners? Looks like a bunch of Nittos out there but I heard they wear terrible and are noisy.

Could I go up in size to get some more options? Would a 35/12.5 fit? Usually 35s are a 34 which seems to be close to stock.

I checked the FAQ thread but it wasn't much help. Any recommendations are appreciated.

I just ordered the 2" bilsteins up front and 1" for the rear. Think I could squeeze 35" tires with that?

Me thinks you are a bit confused. Nitto MUD Grapplers are VERY aggressive and fantastic off-road, but are noisy as hell and do wear poorly on pavement.

Nitto TERRA Grapplers are the A/T tire and wear very well and are almost as quiet as soccer mom tires.

If you a strictly a pavement queen, the Cooper Zeons would be a good choice, if you do go off road a bit, then I'd do the Terra Graps...

I do go offroad and live in an area that you run dirt roads as part of life. I put some miles on my truck though, so road manners are a must. do you think the muds would be too much?

What about the Nitto Dura Grapplers? Is that strictly street? I think the Terra Grappler has the same mileage warranty, correct?
