you went with the LT's to get 295/65/20? pretty heavy tire at 60lbs. no issues?
No issues. I have 3.92s so that certainly helps with the power. Ride is no worse than I expected.
At least they’re lighter than the flotation sizes.
Other than wearing out the stocks, I’ve had LT load range Es for probably the last 20 years, so my expectations probably aren’t the highest.

thanks - yeah, never had a truck before or LT tires. I like the look of them but concerned about noise and comfort.

Remember you'll get some cushion with the larger sidewall, for a point of reference since you have a bimmer, the truck still rides waaaaay better than my old 335is on 19s ever did.

Noise on the Ridge Grapplers isn't bad, slight hum but ANC takes care of most of it.

295/65/20 NRG’s on stock 20” Night Edition rims (2wd 1500 with 3.5” lift)...It works, just a lot of trimming with my setup to prevent rubbing (including removing rear mud flaps from front wheel wells). From what I’ve read here from folks with 4wd and ORP/ORG you may not have to trim as much.

looks great - i have same truck and wheels. only leveling front though. How is the ride now with LT tires vs p tires? assuming you came from p rated?

thanks - my beamer is pretty quiet :) i really want the AT3 285/60/20LT but just don't want the ride to get too stiff. I guess I have 30 days to decide with toyo's program..

Ride is awesome (in my subjective opinion 😂)...No I’m sure on a smoothness factor nothing compares to stock setup but for 3.5” lifted truck with 35’s it rides pretty smooth. Mine are load range E1.
