Those are going to set you back a bit. Of course no good tires are inexpensive. Fortunately my truck already had new set of WILD COUNTRY XTX SPORT from Les Schwab Tires. The last set I bought in 2012 on my first diesel (in my sig) cost $1050. I haven't priced them recently. Schwab's carries the Toyos as well. All good tires.

Well I got the tires put on the other day and they looked great! The down size is they are way to wide for a 8 inch rim! The truck felt as if I was driving on marshmallow tires. So I had to bite the bullet and get new wheels today. The truck look totally different and no more mushy ride! 315 60 20r Toyo Open Country MT on stock wheels and a couple with the new wheels.

Are those the same diameter as the stock tires?

Are you asking about the Michelins? If so yes they are the factory size tires that came off when I bought the Toyo tires.

Or were you talking about the new toyo tires? The new Toyo tires are 35 inch and the stock tires are a hair over 34 inch.

The new ones. I'd like to go a little beefier when the time comes.

Just make sure to either get wider wheels or stay with a tire that is meant for a 8 inch wide wheel. I did not like the sloopy feel I had with the new tires and old wheels. Now the truck feels stable again.

I put the 2 inch leveling kit on and trimmed the inside of the fenders a tad.
