20" tire confusion
I have an 07 crew cab 4wd on OE 20's with a 2"AS, 1' taller block in the rear.
The stock Perrillis are hating life after 11,000 miles, full of cactus and mesquite needles and several small cuts/abrasions on the sidewalls.
Ive been researching 275/65/20's and or 275/70/20 in an A/T tread design. I need to be able to turn the wheels lock to lock so bigger probably wont work.
Every tire Ive found in this size is a load range E tire which seems like way over kill on a 1/2 ton pickup.
I'm also concerned that an E tire will adversely effect the already so-so ride quality.
I need a tire with excellent tread puncture and side wall cut resistance in combination with the best wet weather, sand and snow traction possible.
My F- 250's, 350's and 450's are on Goodyear tires all E or above load range, so I'm familiar with their offerings.
Goodyear, Toyo, Hankook, Nitto and Michelin are the only manufacturers I have found in this size.
BFG is not in the running.
Any opinions, comments, suggestions or brands Ive left out?
Sorry about the long winded-ness, Thanks....R

Pro comp doesn't offer the size I'm looking for.
The Toyo's are load range E.
The BFG is 285/65/20, which may rub and is a load range E.
Ive had BFG At's on another truck, I wont buy them again.
Thanks.

Keep me in mind if you go with the 275/65/20's. I just ordered a set. Should be here in a couple of weeks. Wandering if I need to put a 2 inch level on it. Would rather not...like the forward slant and want the tire to fill the wheel well.
Thanks

275/65 20 is over 34" tall. You may need 2" blocks as it'll be close. Anything between 33 and 35" w/out blocks can be questionable. Will fit, but could hit under certain circumstances.
