Yeah I'm worried abt the slow down too. I was leaning towards 20's as I do plan to drop the rear just to level it out. I think seeing pics will make up my mind.bighitter said:22s will fill the tire well better but they will be a little slower and usually cost more to get the tires.
I have 20s and after my drop I am happy with them but I went with a decent size tire as well.

Yep I was thinking abt that same size.bighitter said:285-55-20 Yokohama Geolander HTS-052
Do you like this size tire?? i have been trying to decide. Probably putin on the new 20's tommarrow and gunna throw some some used 305-50-20's on to save cash. The height is good and close to stock but i really dont need 12" wide tires. Also i would think the 285's wou;d be lighter too. thats my main concern is wt.bighitter said:285-55-20 Yokohama Geolander HTS-052
Size doesn't necessarily make up the weight of the tire. I've been researching for a while now & the 20" General Grabbers & BF Goodrich g-Force tires are some of the lightest available @ 40 lbs. In comparison the Michelin LTX's weigh in @ 56 lbs.Leadsled124 said:Do you like this size tire?? i have been trying to decide.

Mines an 06 but its kept immaculant. Even te engine compartment.DRKSDE said:BTW...Nice trucks.
Both '04's? I tend to be very anal abt my rides so it's nice to see others take care of theirs too.

Ya i found out the lower profile tires are just as heavy because they beef up the sidewall more. the BFG KDW 2's are sweet but just so expensive. Especially if you drive a lot of miles. The 20's i have only weigh 24 lbs a piece so i have a good start
Oh ya and besides the 22's being a little heavier, the ride will be a bit rougher with the lower profile[/QUOTE
I was referring to the other 2 posters as '04's; you posted before I did.
Yes the BFG's are pricey. What 20's do you have that weigh 24 lbs?
I tow my jet skis so I was wondering abt that aspect as well. Looks darn good for a 60+ mile Titan...bighitter said:I love the tire size, gives a great ride, still able to tow without sidewall flex and they perform well. They are also very close to stock size so the speedo is only off a little bit, actually reads faster so helps keep me out of trouble sometimes.
Hell my 04 is a daily driver/work truck, the topper holds all my tools and it has over 60k on it now.
