    Hi guys, its time for our favorite accessory buying time...new tires.

    I have a STOCK 2018 TRD Sport CrewMax running 275/55/20 tires and I'm looking for an option that might possibly fill out the wheels wells a little bit better. I don't have a factory or aftermarket lift on the truck either and probably wont for awhile, but might be able to squeeze in getting it leveled out soon I hope.

    I'm thinking about going with the ProComp AT Sports in LT275/60/20...I had them before on my Gen1 Stepside, but I never got a chance to see how they handled in the snow because we had very mild winters here in Maryland when I had them. But I am looking for some other good options to fill the need.

    I'm planning on being able to drive in some OSV areas to do some surf fishing, so being able to air down to drive in the sand is also a require of them new tires. Also, the truck is my daily driver, so no super aggressive, knobby tires are needed.

    Thanks in advance!

    5100s all around, 295-70-18 Defenders, BD reverse lights, de-badged, interior LEDs, footwell LEDs, reverse LEDs, ARE cap, front receiver hitch for cooler holder, cooler holder/rod rack, backup camera, Kenwood HU, Tyger nerf bars, Husky floor liners, folding rear seats, remote battery posts, plastidip grill chrome, Powder coat bumpers.
    Michelin Defender hands down. I'm not familiar with sizes available for a 20" rim but that's easy enough to research on the Michelin website.
    They're by far the best sand tires I've ever ran. Tread wear is good also. I'm at 75K on my current set.

    Ridge Grapplers were on my 2021 when I got it with 10K miles. They look good. Also the same stock size 275/55/20. Get good MPG.

    I've had the Michelin Defenders on my F150 and those would be better on wet roads. I'll probably get those after the Grapplers ware out. But the Grapplers look good and if I end up needed more off road, even just parking, may get them again.

    I just got Falken Wildpeaks AT3W put on about a month ago, and so far so good. I researched and took in the positive recommendations I got on here regarding those specific tires to make my decision. I have a 2020 TRD off road, so the size is different, but I am sure they sell many other sizes.

    Best of luck with your search!
