What are some nice 275/65/20s that aren't $1200.00?

[Matts175]

I'm installing Bilsteins as soon as it gets a little warmer outside. I already have them sitting here. I eventually want to get larger tires as well. I really, really like the looks of the BFG All Terrains.... but.... OUCH.... $1200.00? Is there anything out there that would be comparable to these, but maybe under $1000 installed?

Falken Wildpeak AT3W

I got over 60k from my first set and just installed a 2nd set. Tirebuyer.com had a $75 rebate, free shipping, $20 discount for having them shipped to their preferred installer, and another $30 back from Ebates.

Thanks guys. Looks like my local Discount Tire has the AT3W at just a hair over $1000. Still $200 cheaper than the BFGs.

Yeah i know, its insane the price difference moving up just a little in size. The price u listed above an installed price?

 

[Matts175]

Yes. Installed.

The price hike is for jumping into a 10 ply E rated tire vs. a 4 ply SL rated OEM size tire.

If your worried about a couple hundred dollars get rid of the 20s and go 17s or 18s. 2 years ago I got bfg ko2 35x12.5 out the door $1200 now its $1600. The price will continue to go up.

Thanks for that info, i was gonna stick to stock size because of the prices. Had no idea the one series up was a 10 ply. I honestly don't need them, as of now i wont be towing, and doubt ill ever exceed payload on a standard tire. Does a 10 ply tire last longer than a standard tire if you dont tow or carry heavy loads?

I run stock size AT3’s with my 2.8 / 1.5 lift and I love it! I ran 10 ply 35’s on my old Jeep Jk. From my experience 10 ply do not last longer. They are just more rigid for towing and off-roading.

No brainer for me then. Stickin with stock size, may throw spacers on later. Thanks again for the info!

If you decide on rear spacers, the 1.5” left me a 1” rake. I like it a lot. Whenever I tow my modest trailer or load my bed I end up level. Just FYI

Went with Nitto Exo Grapplers, moving to 275/65/20 got me more tread depth. $800 for the tires off eBay, no tax, free shipping. Another$100 to mount them locally.

Coopers are super popular here in the snow, going to stick them on the wife's truck this fall.
