Excellent looking tire but that’s too close imo.

Yeah I took it back off, couldn't run that one.. just too big and it's only 3/4 inch taller and wider.

Just got back from putting 350 miles on the new Toyo AT3 in 275/55/20. Drove from Denver on highway to the Mount Antero trail, drove a good amount of the trail and it performed great! No rubbing, solid tire.

I may go with the Toyo R/T, any chance a 285/55 would work or is the 275 pretty close already?

No idea if that would work, but starts becoming noticeably wider in that size compared to the stock 255.

I went over every available option today and finally decided. I wanted a little more aggressive than the Toyo AT3 and a little less than the Toyo RT so have some Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the way tomorrow. With all this COVID stuff alot of inventory is way down with backorders piling up. I was lucky to find the ones I needed. Depending on the way these fit I doubt there is enough clearance for the RedBourne wheels I was wanting. There offset compared to OE brings them out a hair over an inch. While I'd like the width I just don't see it clearing without rub. I'll check it out after the tires are mounted though.

WooHoo! I got my BEEF! Now just have to wait for the shop to slow down so I can get them installed.
