285 65r20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2

I have a longhorn Air ride, No lift, No level.

I read a lot of reviews, and posts on tire size and what fits and what does not. I live in MN so I see plenty of snow and we drive cross country often so I was looking for a good balance on what we could have for excellent winter and still cruise at 85mph crossing the US.

Tires so far perform great. no crazy noise or vibrations, handles well at speed. Minimal rubbing at full lock in normal mode. I posted a pic so you can see the clean spot/mark on the wheel well liner. Normal driving I never hear or feel any rub. Speedometer is off 5mph at 60. Tazer coming later this week so that can be fixed.

After a week I am still very happy. Got the tazer in and speedo adjusted so it matches GPS speed.

Well after a few hundred miles and a good long run at 85 mph I am very happy with the G2's, they do have some give compared to stock tires but they are 4 inches taller. Drive down the road excellent and the truck looks great.. double win so far.

Everything still going well. No major snows yet to report on but some minor ice and light snow all as expected and the tires performed well.

Air pressure has been a crap shoot to get figured out, started at 42fr 40r, wear pattern quickly told us that was too much, both front and rear tires rode on just the center of the tire. After multiple trips and trials we have settled at 38 fr 36 rear at 35 deg air temps. This rides really well with a even tire wear pattern when using chalk to check. This gets us a 42-40 when cruising at 75 mph.. next week we will put on around 2000 miles so will post thoughts after.

We put 2500 miles on them last weekend, got out first snow storm with a nice 10 inches and some mixed rain..
Ride was great on the road averaging 78 mph no strange loud noises and the truck felt very stable at speed.
Mileage very similar to oem tires.
snow and ice performance was exceptional compared to oem. very stable and did not even flinch at the snow covered roads.

I just picked up a 2020 bighorn with 20" rims and am trying to figure out the biggest tires I can mount without rub or suspension mods. I know you have air adjustable shocks - I don't. Do you know if the 285/65/20 will fit my truck?

Sorry, yours was the first post I landed on. I'm sure the answer has been written here hundreds of times. Any help or links you can point me to is much appreciated.

I have no issues in normal mode, 90% of all my driving which should be the same ht as yours. So you should have no more then the tiny hit spot on the fender liner at full crank.

Working excellent for winter driving. Glare Ice Roads they were better then expected.

Heavy snow freeway and going through drifts on the back roads performance has been excellent.

Thank you for the review. I had these on my old F150 and loved them. My Jeep had the Falken Wildpeaks which we nice, but a little more aggressive looking.
