My truck should be arriving to the dealer in the next few weeks. First thing I'm doing is swapping out the stock tires with most likely Toyo Open Country AT3s. What I am conflicted on is 295/65/20 vs 35x12.5x20. The 295's measure 35.1 in height, and the 35's are 34.6 in height. The width is 11.8 vs 12.5. My big question is the load rating. The 295's have a 4080 load rating, while the 35's have two different options, 3195 and 3640.
My concern with the 295's is that the load rating is increased therefore ride quality will suffer.
My concern with the 35's are which one do I pick, and by all indications the width should be ok with no to minimal rubbing.
My use of the truck predominately is DD along with going on HD runs and to the landscaping company to load the bed with rock, dirt, etc. Though this won't happen often.
I'd like to keep factory wheels for now. I will say I am planning on a Thuren/Carli hybrid leveling system (Fox's most likely) within 8-12 months. Might as well get some use out of the factory suspension.
I am located in Buffalo, NY if that sways anyone's opinion. TIA
