Light truck/SUV crossover tire options:

Michelin Latitude Tour HP
245-50-20's @ 29.7" tall; 7.5" recommended rim width; 1704lb capacity rating
235-55-20's @ 30.2" tall; 7.5" recommended rim width; 1874lb capacity rating

Yokohama Parada Spec-X
245-50-20's @ 29.7" tall; 7.5" recommended rim width; 1874lb capacity rating
235-55-20's @ 30.2" tall; 7.5" recommended rim width; 1874lb capacity rating

While the price might be close to the TW&T TowNasty's, I just don't care for the low, low, profile 22" tire on a dually unless it's laid-out. The other 90% of the time it looks lost. I think 20's are the great compromise. Obviously this doesn't do much for the guys that expect to tow a trailer loaded to the hilt, but 22's wouldn't have been an option in those cases either (22.5's might if they would fit)....

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... *Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.* Last edited by SCOTI; 02-04-2013 at 08:36 PM.
