Hey everyone, I just picked up my 23 Lariat and am thrilled with the truck. I am going to change over to the 22" platinum wheels because I love the look. The place I'm buying from has a set with Bridgestone Alenza, Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3, Continental Terrain Contact A/T, or General Grabbers. Does anyone have experience in regards to truck handling and tread life with the Lightning? Thanks for you help!

I would not buy anything but EV tires for these trucks. I would order a set of these.

Seems like they are getting the other sizes out now. I just got the following quote:

The interesting thing is that this larger size is actually lighter than the stock size according to the manufacturer's website. Here is where I got the data:

and here is the actual data:

As you can see, the stock size tire (33") is 275/60R20 and weighs in at 53lbs, while the bigger size (34.1")is 275/65R20 and weighs in at 42 lbs. If that is actually true, seems like a upgrade in looks as well as potentially saving on efficiency over the life of the tire.

You are comparing a Light Truck (LT) tire with the car version (non-LT). They have different load ratings.

In your chart there is an LT275/60R20 and LT275/65R20 right below it.
The R60 weighs 53 lbs and the R65 weighs 55 lbs.
