I just bought General Grabber tires, they're not an aggressive thread at all, but they ride nice and excellent in water. If you want a nice aggressive mud and snow type tire in a P rated, you can get Goodyear Duratracs in either LT or P275/60R20. Personally after having LTs on the truck, I wouldn't go back to them unless I wanted.to go up in size and absolutely had too.

Can’t go wrong with Duratracs. They are actually an AT tire.

I will be installing 275 60r20's soon. I haven't decided on the recal yet. I'm most worried about the oil life system.
Change the oil at 15% oil life, that's what I do, instead of waiting for the warning to come on and then running it for another 3 or 400 miles before I get it changed. At 15%, you'll always be well within the limits.

I have a Readylift SST 3.5" lift and after trying LT275/60/20's, I changed to a P rated in the same size.,.which equates to a 33" tire. Few reasons I went this route. First was gas mileage..35's and an LT weight tire, really eat into the mpgs. Second, 33's you have the choice of P or LT rated still, 35's you dont. Honestly, LT tires are overkill on these trucks unless you run it off road a lot or with a LOT of weight. Third, with the Readylift kit, the preload spacers stiffen up the suspension, so with LT tires, it felt like I was running cement tires, i just felt every pebble on the road and it hit potholes really hard. Possibly leveling shocks on the front and not the spacers would be a better combo with LT tires. Lastly, LT tires are just plain heavy, rough, not great in wet conditions normally. I just couldn't justify the LT tires over P rated with my driving style. I do haul my atv in the back and yes, P rated tires tend to be a little squishy if you don't air them up a little more, but nothing serious if you get good quality tires. The ride comfort the other 99% of the time is sooooo worth the little trade off of a stuffer tire for the 1% of time I tow or haul. 33's by the way look great with the 3.5" lift. It has some space, in the wheelwell still, but the 33' suits the look I find. 35's would fill that space more, but looks fine with 33's
You got pictures? And what tires do you have?

Yes. You would have to spend $100 on the app, OBDII adapter, and gateway bypass + the cost of a Windows or Android device. My dealer quoted me ~$150 to reprogram my speedometer, so it's definitely cheaper than AlfaOBD for you. If you plan to do any of the changes available with AlfaOBD, it might be worth it for you to spend another $50.

I just did the recal with Jscan, picked up what I needed off Amazon. It honestly took less then 10 minutes. If you don’t want to pay the dealership this is a good option. I also put on 275/60/20.
