Nitto Terra Grappler G2 is 64lbs in that size. Solid all around tire as well.

According to Nitto that tire in our stock size is almost 71lbs...

Very helpful, thank you. Looking at 20x11 ET+14 wheels with 35x1250x20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Not sure if that's too much extra weight with the tires. Wheels would be slightly lighter than the stockers, even at the larger width and diameter.

It looked like was asking about 35x12.50R20 since the Ridge Grappler was too heavy. That G2 in that size is 64lbs

Is another 10 pounds a side for a different tire, though heavy, going to really hurt anything?

depends of you definition of hurt. 10lb per tire is pretty big, in a bad way. Rotational weight should be as light as possible. On the flipside, most people dont care and figure its a truck anyway but it will lose you a lot of mpg and will slow the truck down as well.

Gotcha, wasn't sure but makes sense. I will keep this in mind while I look around... Cooper A/T3 XLT is looking solid right now.

17" VenomRex 602's in Tungsten installed on my lead foot with OEM sized Duratrac's. No leveling kit, no rubbing full turn either direction.

In my opinion the wheel (any 17" wheel really) needs to be paired with a tire that has a more aggressive sidewall on this truck. Didn't want to buy tires, but ended up with Duratracs which are lighter, quiet, perform great in snow, etc.

Compared to OEM beadlocks, 13 lbs lighter per wheel + 4 lbs lighter per tire. Estimated/calculated 22 ft-lbs more max torque at wheels for the setup; about half of which is attributed to the tires and the other half the wheels (tire rotational mass is further out from axle so it has a larger impact on rotational inertia than the 17" wheel).

Drives great so far and brakes with noticeably less effort.

Thanks Nick@Apollo-Optics

I hear so many mixed things about the duratracs - some love them, some hate them. I like the look and I like the weight, but a lot of folks complain of the noise.

Truck looks great, @pigwet!

I am not sure I have ever heard negatives reviews about duratracs. Are they noisy? When new NO! As they wear they do get louder.

My gen1 has been on duratracs for the last 44,000 miles and in my opinion they are the best all around tire.

I have 602s in the garage waiting on duratracs and then my 2019 will get some new shoes .... when the weather gets warmer.

We get quite a few complaints for balancing/ride issues. They usually take excessive amounts of weight (even on perfectly round innov8's). We try to stay away from Goodyear as a whole or tell customers to buy them locally. It's an expensive exchange when somebody across the country has a ride complaint.
