I am partial of course BUT I would ay go with the 305/55 R20 DURATRACS! I have had them for about a month now and love'em! I do have the leveling kit and took the front mud flaps off to be safe. The duratracs come in stock size as well. The severe weather stamp is what sold them for me cuz of the snow we get up north. Ss far they have lived up to expectations. They do like to wonder on the highway abit but you'll get that with any wide tire following the traffic grooves. Alotta guys like the nitto terra's on here. Never had a set but have heard really good things.

It really comes down to what you are using your truck for and what you wanna outta a tire. I am sure others with pipe in too. I know Scottysize just got a set of 305 Terra's recently. I like my Duratracs tho, changed the look of my truck completly!

So to fit those tires you have on my truck would I have to have a leveling kit or would they work with 100% stock truck? Also this is probably a very newbie question:bangit:, but since looking on here for info about tires I've seen a lot of talk about leveling kits. I'm completely familiar with lift kits, I've installed one on a old Jeep, but what are the leveling kits for?

A leveling kit will make the front the same height as the back. Typically, factory will offset the front 2" lower than the back, so when towing you will be level.

Theres also the Cooper Zeon LTZ. Don't know if 305 55 20 will fit with stock but 305 50 20 should no problem.

So it sounds like no one has really tried to put any larger tires on the stock 20" wheels without at least doing a leveling kit? This might be a dumb question, but if it's only leveling out the truck and not really lifting it, how does it help fit larger tires? How much is the leveling kit, how much time and expertise does it take to install and most importantly does it effect the handling, ride, ect? I do agree after seeing many pictures of trucks on here it does make the truck look a lot better overall in my opinion. I'm not sure if I want to spend money on something like that considering I need new tires, but if you can't run a larger tire without it I may consider it.

the front is where you have fitment issues with larger tires, since the level lifts the front of the rig, you gain more room for larger tires up front. The rears you could prob fit close to 37's with no modification, its just since the fronts turn left and right, they require more clearance than the rear for the same size tire
