Nitto Recon Grapplers in 275/65/20 SL?

[rpold150]

LT 275/65. The weird thing is that even though it’s an E rated LT, it still only has a 2 ply sidewall.

I can see myself pulling something a couple times a year, and my only offroad adventures might be over a grassy field, beach, or a rare dirt/mud road. I was looking at the SL for lighter weight. 10 lb more per tire for E rating, and I just don't think I need it.

After 1000 miles I’ve had enough of the LT and am having the SL put on Thursday. Thank goodness Discount Tire will swap them. I’ll report back on the difference.

I'm glad discount tire was accommodating. Let us know what you think of the difference.

Going from the LT back to the P-metric has returned my truck to better than stock. The ride is amazing, they are quieter, and they have more sipping than the LT version.

Glad to hear that you like these. I'm probably also going with these in 275-65-20, SL.

They add a little more cushion to the ride and make the truck look so much better. Ford did a good job opening up the wheel wells on this update.

Thanks for the update, I'm going to go with these as well.

Does anyone have experience with these in the snow? It seems with all the siping they'd probably work well. Doesn't look like they have the snowflake designation.

You still happy with the recon grapplers?

I dont think they have the 3 peak designation. Some people on another thread say they don't do well in rain. I haven't had any problems with that. I'm in Houston, so no snow experience. 1800 miles on mine and I'm happy with them. They look great

Almost 10,000 miles and still happy.

I have the 275/65/20. They come with an aggressive sidewall, and a not so aggressive sidewall design. I put the aggressive side out. Readylift 2" level.

Thanks. I had the new tires on for a couple days before the lift. No issues.
