I pulled the trigger today and placed an order with Discount Tire for Nitto Terra Grappler 275/55/20 and trading in the factory Goodyear Fortera HL with 700+ miles on it. It should be here the end of next week.
UPDATE: Pictures added
I really like the Nitto's. Gives it a mean look and rides really well. Also looks like it has an addition inch or more on height. A little info on the Speedometer. I ran a GPS app before the new tires and after with really no difference. So adjustments isn't needed.
$482 for the Goodyear tires and they lower the price on the Nitto's. I ended up going to two discount tire places before I got the price I was looking for. However, after wheeling and dealing come to find out that Nitto is out of stock on the 275/55/20 and no ETA at this time. So I had to pay extra for delivery from someone else that they could get it from. oh well..
I would think so. I won't know until I get the tires. I plan on using a GPS App while driving to compare the MPH give or take a mile. I'll let you know when I know.
I considered looking for a 285 also. But the 275 comes awfully close to the upper ball joint bolt (i believe that's what it is) with the stock wheel offset. Less than a fingers width. I don't know if the 285 will clear it. I know the SRT comes with a 295 but the wheels must have a different offset or different set up.
Do all Discount Tire locations take trade in of tires? I wouldn't mind replacing the Goodyears with those in stock size, though mine do have some wear, they're not in bad shape at all.

Those look great! I'm assuming that the pictures are in one of the lifted suspension modes?

Quick question...Did the tire store give you any trouble putting 275/55/20 on? I love the way they look...I just ran 1010 test and looks like the speedo is off 4mph...have you noticed the difference?
Thanks guys...your posts are really helpful.
Here's my first impressions of the nitto Terra grapplers. I bought them in stock size off a member on this board. I then scored a set of factory 20's off of Craigslist. Added some plasti dip and voila. The first thing I noticed was that the steering wheel was more responsive and the bumps were absorbed better. The vehicle just seemed to handle bumps better. Also the ride height was taller compared to my stock Forteras which had 20k on them. The tire noise is a little louder but nothing terrible. So far I'm very happy with them. I'll post an update after some miles this winter. Vehicle specs: V6, AWD, stock suspension no quadra lift.

I replaced my Fortera's with the new Nitto Grappler G2 265 50R20 and they are amazing! With their aggressive lug pattern & deep siping, they have a great bite in the snow, a quiet ride, excellent traction off-road, and now offer a 50/65,000 mile treadwear warranty! A great all around AT tire! :thumbsup:
