    My 2019 Platinum came with 18" tires. I don't particularly like the look...to small for a big truck. I'd like to upgrade to a 20" tire but I notice that most owners stick with the stock 18" tire. Is there a reason for that?

    Extra sidewall height in 18” tires make for a better ride.

    probably better selection of AT and MT tires as well

    Depends if you off-road or not. Smaller wheel gives you more sidewall and for better ride on bumps.

    Thanks for the replies. I don't plan on off roading.

    Should still give you a better ride. And MT or AT has a nice look to em.

    It also depends on what the roads are like where you drive.
    I’m personally happy with the 18” since roads here are horrible.

    I'm going to 22" wheels by this summer I too never off road but it's all in what you like and how you want your truck to look. I currently run 18s so it will be a huge change and look for me but I think it's going to be cool

    Monet have you seen the fury off road tire line. They are getting crazy good reviews from on road to off road. I think thays what I'm going to go with on my new wheels they make an RT that has caught my eye with a 45k mile warranty.
