It's great those 305's don't rub. I'm a bit surprised, seeing as how they're the stock 32" diameter and yet so much wider than stock. Did you add any wheels spacers?

Looks great. Hope you're thrilled with it. I love seeing people make subtle changes that make them happy.

Have any of these been tested under the factory tire cover? I figure I might as well use mine if I have it but want to see what sizes fit under it (20" rims).

I have LT265/70R18 Mickey Thompsons (33" diameter), and the factory spare cover fits over the spare - barely, stretched to the max and refitting it is not the most fun thing you can do, but it does. I assume 20" tires with a dia. of 33" of less will fit as well.

Hi, nice tires. I am looking for new tires , how do you like the tires after about a year? Do you find you get good snow traction, I don’t feel safe on OEM goodyears in snow and after two years now I loose traction. Do you air the tires down in the winter? If yes what psi are you running back and front tires?

Thanks

I would like to know about these too. I like Toyo tires a lot, at least on an old Ford Expedition I had once. Plus these look great. I was going to just go with the OEM Duratracs but if I go to 275 55 20 size it opens up a lot more tie options. I'd like to go bigger than OEM, and technically the 275 55 20 is ever so slightly smaller in diameter than OEM, but the tire place I use is always hesitant to put non-OEM tire sizes on if there is no lift, etc. 275 55 20 is one they will substitute for 255 60 20 no questions asked though.

I may just sit tight and run the Pirelli All-Seasons for a good long while though. I've gotten really used to how quiet they are on the road and they're totally fine for 80 percent of where I drive off-road. Only thing that worries me is I'm in NC and the mud here is red clay, mostly. Nothing is "great" in it unless you go full mud terrain tires, but these all seasons just become slicks in about 5 seconds in the mud.
