Damn, nice work! What size are those duratracs you installed on the truck? trying to find someone thats used the 275/55R20 size without lift to see if they rub. if those are the 255/60's they still look pretty damn good.

Appreciate that! It's a lot of fun, but also a lot of work, to film the YouTube stuff!

How do you find the interstate noise of the Duratrecs? I am on the standard oem off-road goodyears -- and they are not getting the job done, now that it is clay dirt muddy season in the mountains.

I will switch to something more mud suitable, but quiet?, once my 18" oem standard AT goodyears wear out.

I put them on day 2 of owning the car so I can't do an A/B. That being said, I can't hear them at all with all the stuff on the roof. Nothing whistles, but the price to pay for camping at a moments notice is a bit of wind noise.

If the dealer threw them on they are probably the 255/60's, if you have a closer picture of one of the wheels, or could check the next time you are out I'd really appreciate it. If the 275/55's don't rub it'd allow for a little wider tire with basically the same sidewall.

Must be that. they are the LR tire, they only have one size in 20". They've worked wonderfully in everything I've thrown at them thus far. Mud, sand, rock, rain.

I can definitely be wrong about the size but yeah they are a great tire, and in practice the extra 2cm in width will make very little difference, but if they fit why not have a little more rubber.
