That's the same setup I was looking to go with.
I like this look, but the 305/55R20 is slightly taller tire ~ same width and 17#'s lighter!

Has anyone tried 275/70-18s on the factory sport 18" wheels? They have a 33" diameter like the factory 20" wheels/tires. I'm not interested in offroading, just want more sidewall.
I haven't seen anyone with that size, but it will definitely work without a level.

I'm planning on swapping out the OEM 265/60/18 for my 4X2 PB Lariat to 265/70/18 to fill the wheel well better. Probably going with Continental Terrain Contacts HT's...any other recommendations? Not going off roading and will be doing a decent amount of towing our 16ft Airstream.

The Continental Terrain Contact is at the top of my list as well. I'm also considering the Nokian One HT and the Michelin Agilis. Discount tire provides a weight for each tire. In the 275 width the Nokian is 47 lbs., the Continental is 54 lbs. and the Michelin is 52 lbs. The Michelin has the "snowflake" rating (probably not important for you in Florida). The Nokian has a slightly lower mileage warranty. All are E load rated. I've always had good luck with Michelin and Continental tires. Never tried Nokian. I think they are more known for their winter tires. Michelin Defenders are very popular, but it appears that the Agilis is getting a higher rating.

I am wanting to do something with my factory tires... they just are so underwhelming for a $70k platinum.. so heres my question... for an offroad type tire that will perform on city streets/highway driving.. What are my best options? I would prefer not to lose another 2-3 MPG. I feel like ive already lost some with the 2" level. I dont know tires/wheels at all..... so please bare with me.
I agree!!!
After talking to my uncle whom is a retired suspension n engineer for GM. he taught me a lot about tires.
He turned me on to low "rolling resistance" and quality.
Consumer reports AND Tire Rack made the choice easy for me. Continental TerrainContact AT tire.
My tire tech was amazed how well the tires balanced also. Requiring very lil weight.

I am going with the F150 Tremor size on my 18”. Seems to make the most sense and I love a nice mellow/functional look.

I have the General ATX on my current 4Runner and LOVE them!!!!!!!

Do you know what size that is on the Tremor? Also does the wheel use the same +44 offset?

Leveled? Do you have a picture a little further back? Nice look.
not leveled yet. I wanted to roll stock for a bit with stock sizes while I tow through the hills and see how clearance is. Once these run through I’ll go wider and bigger sidewall with a level. Although I may level earlier than that.

Beautiful Truck. I love the more aggressive look of those tires on the stock wheels. Picking mine up in 2 days. Carbonized Grey with the same wheels. Had the dealership change the tires to the Falken Wildpeak AT3W which have a similar look to the BF Goodrich.
