Question Tire replacement question.

Stock '06 Lariat. 275/55/20 is the stock size. Got a nail through a tire that had been previously patched, so apparently, you can't patch it again. So now I was thinking about buying four new tires, and selling the three good ones I have left. My question is two fold. First, what do you guys like as a replacement tire? I have been running Kuhmo Ecstas, and they are wearing really well (I keeps em rotated) and I had always used BFG AT on everything in the past, but they seemed "harder" somehow, and didn't wear as well as I would like. What do you like, and why? Secondly, is there an "up" size tires that will fit the stock suspension, not mess up the settings that others are going to?

Thanks in advance.


p.s., I did search, pinkie swear.

I'd suggest a 285/55-20 (33x11.50) or a 305/55-20 (33x12.50) BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, Pro Comp Xtreme AT, Mickey Thompson ATZ or **** Cepek FC II.

And those will fit with no rubbing, and fit the stock wheels? I need to find the online calculator so I can see if it changes the speedo. Thanks for the suggestions.
