As others have said, the BFG A/T's is one of the best all around tire. If you plan on doing more offroad in areas where there are sharper rocks and
want to haul arse without worrying about popping a tire, I'd go for the Goodyear MT/R. I've ran all these tires as I am an offroad enthusiast. I also
ran the BFG MT's (new and old versions) and the new version is overpriced and under-sized. You're paying a lot for not a lot of rubber.
Other good options, as already mentioned are the Toyo AT's. The latest craze are the Goodyear Duratrack. I haven't run these but my buddy who has them
likes them a lot. I don't think they are as expensive but have good tread life and an agressive pattern.

If you are planning on using this truck much for 4 wheeling, I would reconsider the 20" rims. Low profile tires aren't that great off road.

My RAM came with nice 20 inch wheels....Now I am looking for 17's. While the 20's look nice I want to have more rubber for airing down.

Yeah Id personally run the smallest rim possible to clear the calipers! Usually cheaper rubber! Not to mention I think more rubber and less metal
looks better, and obviously has better flexibility for offroading.

20" rims on a 3/4 ton?
Anyway. I have put 150k miles on my BFG AT's, f250. Just got another pair. 295/75 r16. $539 a pair. I have been happy with them and did some
searching for a thicker side walled tire, but could not find one.
Maybe I don't know much about tires, but wouldn't a 20" rim make the tire thinner? Less load handling and more likely to lose the bead?

low profile tires are the hip look these days. all the kids (and some adults) gots 'em! bling, bling, baby!
for me, i find life simpler sticking with stock equipment that does an adequate job. i mean, it's just a car!

Not bling. Just a little style bud. 20's on the old Suburban. Never grow old at heart.

I want something that looks better. More aggressive.

My 2 cents----------taller rim, less rubber on the road and to absorb rocks. You want the most rubber (within reason) you can get for off-roading or
sand, and besides they are more available and usually cheaper.
I am a BFG AT KO man, myself, running 15 or 16" rims.

You haven't been shopping for cars lately. Its not just kids anymore. 20" standard on a lot of vehicles.
