Tire size for the 20" wheels

Has anybody seen 295/35/20 tire sizes for the 20" wheels? If you look at a tire comparison chart, they seem to be a preety good match with stock tire dimensions. The 295/35/20 won't screw up the speedo and gear ratio too much, and at 100,000 miles the odometer is only off by about a 1,000 miles. Any good tires out there?

hmm,, my tire guy tells me that if i go with a 40 35, or 30 tire then my speedo will be screwed up a bit as opposed to the 45,,,, I like the 45 anyways with all the potholes and the truck as a daily driver anyways though. Hope this helps,, also i've heard you can take the truck to the dealership to get speedo and odo issues taken care of. Just what i've heard though, not what i've done.

hope this helps
