35x12.5x20 a/t or m/t tires??

I'm finally adjusting my 07 King Ranch for larger tires, Installing a 2.5" leveler next week and cannot make up my mind which tire to go with . MT or AT, Kinda set on the Nitto trail grappler , Terra Grappler or the similar Toyo tires, Which one has longer life span of the 2? Cannot find another tire out there in a 35x12.5x20 that compares, any suggestions??

Thanks,,,

trail grappler would be the best out of those options.

Thanks, I also ordered a set of HUB CENTRIC AND WHEEL CENTRIC billet adapters, this will give this truck the space it needs to carry these, never will I buy a truck with 20" wheels again the ride sucks with such small side walls, I'm keeping the stock wheels to save a grand!!

I had toyo MTs and they had about 40% tread left at 30,000 miles when I sold the truck. I was happy with them. And in the long run, you may not be saving any money by keeping stock 20s. Tires cost so much for 20" rims that you may actually save money by buying some 17s or 18s and saving a lot of money on tires. The rims will probably pay for themselves in tire savings after 3 sets of tires

I've got 45k on my BFG KM2s and they are wearing amazing. I rotate religiously and balance every other rotation. Set to get at least 60k.

305x55x20 tires and rims

Thinking about upgrading my stock 275x65x18 tires and rims to 305x55x20 tires and rims. Will this change how the truck rides. Will it be alot stiffer and bumpier or just a little.

Thx, Pete
