    Not a lot of options out there for the 20" limited rims due to the 7" width. Discount Tire won't mount 275s as the "minimum" rim width is 7.5" (I know a lot of guys run these just fine). Anything available with a width > 245 winds up being smaller diameter by a half or full inch - if you've looked for tires you probably know all this.

    In any case I was looking at Goodyears which are fine but pedestrian and Toyo ATs which aren't as good IMHO as the MTs and the sales guy finally suggested the new Nitto Nomad Grappler. I'm fine with Nitto, Toyo's off brand and with the alternative being street tires or slightly more aggressive (noise) ATs I thought I'd try these. Getting them tomorrow, but I figured I'd post and see if anyone else has put these tires on their limited 20" rims and what they think.

    I have a 2018 Limited and was considering the same two tires. Let us know how you like them. One of the most important things I look for in a tire is wet weather traction in rain and snow. If you have any info it would be appreciated. Thanks

    If you don't have a lift I highly recommend upgrading to 265/70R17 tires. TRD Pro 17x7in wheels would give a nice look.

    I have a 2.5in lift to I got 285/70R17 tires on TRD ORP (17x7.5in) wheels.

    I was getting a rim from insurance and they were already quite bent about switching tires, so just not a good time to switch to 17s. As far as the Nomad Grapplers go I freaking love them. They remind me of Toyo MTs, they seem like iron, are grippy as heck and have a low rumble/hum. It's mild and I'm surprised my wife is OKAY with the light noise, but she said she loves the tires - feels like it handles a lot better with them. I've had it in rain and dry and they seem like everything I was looking for.

    I have been very happy with my Bridgestone Dueler A/T 275/55/20 on my 4WD Limited. They run very smoothly on the Highway. The image is after 30k of wear so the tread life is excellent if you rotate as needed.

    I like sea salts Bridgestone Dueler A/T 275/55/20 look but I’m concerned about putting that width on a 7” rim.

    Those look great! Are they the stock size of 245/69/r20? what’s the ply rating? I saw them listed as XL but 4 ply, is that normal?
