Mike - I posted them into this thread. Look on page 1 of the thread above. Those are the latest.

 

They look much better than the original Toyo OC AT, IMHO. Sidewall looks much more modern and aggressive.

 

Sounds good. Looking forward to them!

 

Is that going to be too narrow? Is that the tallest and widest 20" and keep the P rating?

 

I've got 275/60r20's and I'd rather not buy that size again, they're way too narrow. I noticed a little drop in MPG's from the pirellis to the 275/60, but I can't say how much since my speedo is off. I really want the 305's. How bad is your mileage?

 

Called Toyo today..they told me that they weren't released for sale from Corporate yet but they would hit their website early September. Just wanted to let you guys know...are you guys selling them at TD now?

 

295/70/17????


Thanks

 

I can tell you from my experience that I dropped A LOT in fuel economy going from a 295 tire to a 305 tire! It was enough that I took them back and went back to a 295.

Having said that, I'm now running a 275/70/18 on the new truck, and it seems like the best of both worlds to those of us who don't/won't run huge lifts. Beefy enough to fill out the wheel wells after a leveling kit, but doesn't ding the fuel economy much at all....not in the 5.0 anyway.

 

I am still undecided between a MT and an AT. If I go with an AT I will definitely buy these in a 275/70/18, heard that was the best size by far. Still wouldn't mind going with a Trail Grappler though too.

 

wow, seems that most on here say that 305's aren't that big a deal. must be the weight difference, right? LT's are inherently heavier that P rated.

 

The 305's dropped my mileage about 2 mpg. They are also a little too wide to run on the stock wheel's and only give about 1/4 inch clearance from the upper control arm. Ideal tire would be a full 33x11.5 on the OEM wheels but they are hard to find.

 

That's it, the lightweight Pirelli's will give better fuel mileage then a LT rated tire. If you do a lot of stop and go driving they'll help your brakes too!

 

Yep.

The 305s I had were 10 ply and so were the 295s. If memory serves me, the 305s were about 14lbs heavier than the 295s, but there was also a bigger 'footprint' where the rubber meets the road, too.

For my purposes, the 275/70/18 (or 275/60/20) is just about right on a 4x4 with a leveling kit for overall looks and performance.

 

I figure a 275x60x20 in a all terrain design will give you the height (33")and the look's all while retaining some of the fuel mileage. Since I retired I don't really need LT tires anyway to tow only 3k pound's. My Nitto's have about 21k miles on them so it will be awhile before I need new tires anyway.

 

It may be the tire and not the rating, but I've noticed accelerated tread wear on my p275's. I've read that the LT's hold up longer.
