Hey Tom whats cool about the 20s is they have the 60k treadlife warranty as the smaller sizes only have 45k. I have the 55 size. The look takes a while to get used to.

Yeah, I'm after a better street mannered tire in 20"(I know that's probably an oxymoron right), I'm going to put a mud tire on some factory wheels for deer season. I've tried and liked the Toyo ATs, I didn't like the Nitto ATs, but this tire looks like a "heavy duty truck tire", and looks to be a harder compound that might last awhile even w/ the abuse I like to dish out. I'd like to hear from someone that's got 50000 miles or so on a set. Why can't a large oversized tire last like those factory Michelins that don't seem to ever wear out.

Does anyone have any knowledge of these vs the Terra Grappler?

I think I am sold.
I run on 05' 3500 Cummins with 3.75 gears and auto. Stock size is 265 if I went up to a 275 or what ever the next size is how bad do you think it would affect my towing. I pretty regularly to an 8k trailer through the mountains in PA. And some times tow a 15k goose neck.
I should have gotten the 4.10 but at the time didn't have a DD.
I do have a smarty and could reprogram for it but that will only adjust the shift point and will not really make up for the lower gearing.
Should I stick with the stock tire size?
