    What's up guys,

    I bought a 2015 Tundra 2wd TSS edition with the black 20" wheels yesterday. The truck currently has 285/55r20 BFGs, but the tread is wearing low and I'll be needing to replace them soon. I'd like to put a 2" leveling kit on the truck prior to replacing the tires in hopes that I can run larger tires. I read one post stating that with a 2" leveling kit I could fit 285/60r20 tires, but it seems that not too many brands even make this size tire. Is this size info correct? I was hoping to continue with BFGs... are there any similar/better alternatives for the tire brand/size? Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

    Duratracs come in that size, a buddy of mine had those on his F250 a few years back.

    I've also been looking at 285/60R20s in case I level my truck before I need new tires. There aren't many options at that size and they are $$! I'll probably go with 275/60R20s on my 2013 Platinum. More choices, much less expensive, and there isn't that much of a size difference.

    Thanks. Yeah, I've also noticed just how expensive they are. Was wondering if prices had gone up that much since the last time I bought 33" BFGs a few years ago for my Ford, ha. The BFG's on my Tundra only have 33,000 miles on them, so hopefully I can get a little more out of them before worrying about it. But I wanted to be certain for when the time comes or if I decide to upgrade with the leveling kit and bigger tires sooner rather than later.

    I don't know how prices have changed in the last couple years but I get the price difference between the sizes I'm comparing: the 285/60R20s are LT rated and 10ply. Even though I haul a TT I don't need tires rated for 3300lb+.

    Also just ran a quick price comparison of 285/60r20 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs vs 275/60r20 BFG All Terrain KO2s... Duratracs are $500 more... OUCH!

    Go to this site they have the size and the prices are about $75/$100 cheaper than most site and they will deliver to your front door or a shop for you..https://simpletire.com

    I bought a set of Pirelli run flat tires for my BMW..total cost was 435.00 no shipping/plus I got a $70.00 rebate mailed to me from Pirelli.

    I'm going to order some tires and a few weeks for the Tundra...

    I was looking at the same size tires a few months ago and the price difference between 275 and 285 is shocking and 33s are just as expensive as 285s. Looking at discount tire, 285 is almost $1600, 33/12.5/20 are $1350 and 275s are $1000.
    I happened to get lucky and found a set of almost brand new 285/65/20 BFG KO2 with 500 miles for 800 all four. The guy thought they were too small and wanted 35s. Lucky me
