Default 275/60 A/T tire options for 20' stock wheels

A friend of mine has a stock 2007 Ram 1500 Quadcab 4WD Laramie with a 5.7L. He is about to replace the tires on stock 20-in wheels. He's wanting BFG A/T KOs in 275/60 (OEM size) or 285/60 for 20-in wheels. I don't think that BFG offers A/T KOs for a 20-in wheel. What A/T tire do you recommend in an OEM size. Ride, quietness, and good wear are most important to him over looks and lugs. I've heard good things about Bridgestone A/T Revos, and I'd be tempted to go with the Michelin LTX M/S 2 rather than an A/T. I also wonder if the Michelin LTX A/T 2 would be a good choice. What's your experience?

Alot of people here like cooper ltz's. Nitto terra grappler at is also a good choice.

you can get BFG ATs in 275/65r20 (same width as stock but 34" diameter instead of 33" stock) or 285/55r20 (11.2" wide vs 10.8" stock and 32.3" tall vs 33" stock)

There are alot of other good tires out there, do so research on tirerack and read reviews.

I'm pretty sure they make the KO's in 285/65 also.

They do make an AT KO 285/65R20, but you will need at lease a level to run them. (34.6" diameter and 11.2 wide)

I've got Cooper ATR's, and I don't like them as much as the BFG's A/T KOs that I used to have. I don't know anything about Cooper LTZs - I'll tell him about them. About the Nitto's - who sells these - are there any big suppliers? I've heard a lot of good about Nitto's, but I just don't know much about the company? Do they back their products? If you have a problem, is it a lot of trouble to get it fixed? Will they last 50K-60K miles if you rotate them? Any others for 20's?

I know a few people with the nitto's. They seem to be a very good tire. I would look at discounttiredirect.com.

I had Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires on my dodge with 20" wheels. Not sure what sizes are available, think I had 265s. One of the best tires I have ever bought. And they were one of my cheaper options at the time. Probably a little more geared towards the pavement than off road and not as mean looking as some of the others out there. Did amazing in the snow on my 2wd and pretty good in the rain. Had about 20k on them when I sold the truck and still had at least half the tread left.
