I got the same size in the Nittos terras last year. I use them as my winter tires on a old set of Ram 17s and save the OEM 20s for the summer. I like them alot.
I did lose some MPGs. They make the truck drive and handle like a truck, sing just a little but I like the road noise. Haven't got stuck or slipped yet.
Discount tire direct stocks them in passenger and LTs.

Sorry Guys, had my terminology mixed up (With my last Chevy..dont kill me)..Its the MOPAR Chrome Horizontal Grille Insert. The TRX 09 series came with the Black HoneyComb insert, and then they changed it for the later 09's and 10's to the more sporty looking grill. I wanted the sport look, on my TRX package (huh..)..I think it looks better IMO then the black honeycomb..

Tires Plus...

I have a buddy who I've been in the same hunting club with since the mid '90s up in Georgia who owns a pair of auto repair/tire shops and I've gotten all my tires from him for the past dozen years or so, but at the time I was stuck in Florida as my mom was on chemo and wasn't patient enough to wait to get up there after I put a mild lift on the jeep.
They had no problem matching the best price I found online, didn't stock Nitto, but had them from the warehouse the next day...

This past winter wasn't too bad, but I had the chance to pull them thru some snow. They are open enough and tall enough to clear the snow out of the treads. Good enough for western PA. Much, much better than those OEM POS tires.

One thing to consider is if you want LT or passenger tires. The tread and performance is the same. Although I think the tread is a bit deeper by spec on the LTs. I researched some reviews and found a common thread that the LTs seem to last longer and wear better too.
I bought the LTs which is overkill on a 1500. I wanted a thicker sidewall mainly because where I hunt is mowed brush fields and woods.I lost two tires in the past from sidewall punctures about a week apart. Sucked big time to scrap two almost new tires.
The difference in price is about 40-50 bucks a tire. I paid around 200 a tire for the LTs. Most anyplace will match prices out there.
The LTs as I said are a bit of overkill and I finally found about 48 PSI to be the correct inflation for my taste. If I was just looking for road only tires and was going to run them year round I would consider the passenger version to lighten them up some and help with fuel economy. These tires in LTs are heavy.
