Default Factory 20" Tires

So, after getting my new tires put on and falling in love... I just thought I would post what I found online about the stock Goodyears they chose to stick on our trucks from the factory...

2.6 out of 5 overall? That's barely 50% acceptable.
Treadwear 2 out of 5? No kidding, I was down to the wear bars after 20K...

Why are you so bitter? Just kidding. I was so glad when those pos Goodyears were off my truck. I went with the BFG ATKOs.

I thought I was the only one that thought these are the wrong tires. Now if they would only put on REAL chrome wheels, and not some plastic covers. The '06 rims look better, but now I feel funny telling people that I have "chrome 20s"

When I got my new 20's I put on four General Grabber UHP's. These tires look and perform awesome, it is actually pretty hard to get my tires to spin but I chalk it up to the good rubber.

I've been pleased with the Michelin LTX M/S I had on my old truck. Either those or the Dueler A/T Revo's. Just got to wait until these tires are worn out. I'm hoping to replace them in 6-9 mo.

Every car and truck I have ever owned, I have always been happier with the vehicle after I got rid of the factory tires and put on something different. I have usually had good luck with BFG tires on most of my vehicles.

We need a list of 20" A/T tires ...I know that Toyo has a 20" A/T tire and Nitto has the terra grappler in a comparable size. Anyone else?
