My tires are done, I still have the factory size on my 07 QC (275-60-20). I was thinking about upgrading to tires around 305-55-20 and just keeping the factory rims. Pros? Cons?

I'm about to do 305-50-20 Cooper zeon ltzs. They're wider. You'll gain a lot of traction on the road. And the cons depend on the tire n

You looking for street tires or off road or AT?

I have 305/50/20 yokohama spec-x's on mine and love them.

there is a con to 305/55/20 on your truck in that they will rub. You will need 1/4" spacers. because you have an 07. 02-05 uses torsion bars on the front so there is more room and 305/55/20's will fit on stock wheels no problem.

Yep I put the 305's on and had them for about 4 days, had to go down to 285's cause they were rubbing on the swing arm.

Sweet. I've had great results with my Terra's. 26k and still plenty of life left in them.
