Hey all. Just dropped some 275/65/20s Sumitomo Encounter HT. 34.1" diameter according to stats but i wanna measure when i get home. Truck feels a little taller but a little more sensitive on highway. Happy overall, pretty quiet for hefty tire. I tow a trailer w a bobcat for work so I wanted a tough tire but comfortable too.

Just curious if the extra inch makes any clearance issues

Not in the market yet but it's never too early for research

^^ from what i read quite a few ppl runs this size. Some even a 285/55 which i would've got the price goes up quite a bit. even from stock 265 to this 275. I paid $746 on ebay for these, free shipping arrived in 3 days. I rarely completely compress suspension but I'll update after i haul the rig around but i assume i'll be fine. These are T speed rated since i have a heavy foot so i prefer that over an S rated. Saw some MT tires that were nice at a good pr but i had MTs on my Frontier w 3" lift and the noise was a bit extra and Q speed rating sucks.

How have these tires been doing for you???? I see tirerack.com has a lot of great reviews on them and they are rated high.
