Going to make a buying decision in the next 3 weeks, between BFG AT/KO'2's in 275/55/20 size and
275/60/20 size. I like the looks of them in the 55 size with the suspension in the normal setting but every picture I've seen in the 60 series size the owners always have the suspension set on high??? Maybe because they don't look good and normal Saturday meaning they look too big for the car but I love to see a picture of the larger size with the LX 570 set to normal.

The car is filthy and the sun ruined the picture but this normal mode.

Thanks, here is the two pictures for comparison

This is the one with the 275/55/20's

Based on these pic's with the comparison of the 60's with the 55's I'm leaning towards the 55's. From a looks standpoint (55's look like the 60's do with the suspenison on the high setting) but still wonder if the 60's would provide a better ride?

There's a half an inch in tire diameter variance. The ride with the 60 profile may be slightly better. The gearing with the 55 profile will be virtually stock. If you're not going off-road I would probably go with the 55 for gearing purposes.

thanks Zink for all the help. I won't be going off road. I love the look of your truck and tire's on high setting and I will get that with the 55's on normal.

A final thought, I did look at LT275/55R20 and I checked the load inflation tables available at the Toyo website. To carry the equivalent load of the stock tire I recall the pressure in these tires would have to be between 45 - 47 psi. I’m not sure what the ride would be like, that’s a pretty high pressure. If you purchase at Discount Tire they will normally let you drive on the new tires for a couple of days to check them out and if the pressure imakes the ride uncomfortable, you can switch out to the 60 profile. I run mine at 40 psi and the ride is great. 42 psi for long highway drives, the ride degrades marginally put economy goes up 1-2 MPG and 45 psi when I’m towing our horses.

I would look at the Toyo AT2 in P275/55R20 as you get the aggressive AT look and grip, almost stock gearing and the improved ride at stock tire pressures of a P-metric.
