Thanks again!
How are the Generals and Toyos in the snow compared to the stock Hankooks?My second 2021 PB 502A Lariat FX4 (leadfoot) - picked up Dec 3, 2021- no level kit 33.5's (285/60R20) General Grabber ATx's - love the tires, quiet on the pavement. Avg. 10.2l/100km (computer) with winter blend 87 Octane. I only have 350km on the truck so, I am still feeling it out for mileage but love the ride and stance of the 33.5's.
My other 2021 PB 302A XLT (rapid red)- 2" level kit with 34's (295/60R20) Toyo AT3's that I have had since June 2021. love the tires, quiet on the pavement. Avg. 11.5l/100km (20.5mpg) all-round since ownership. The mpg was increasing as the truck was breaking in and I am seeing more on avg. 10.8-11l/100km (21-21.5MPG). The level kit does take an impact on MPG.
This 25.9 mpg was the drive back from lunch to the house yesterday and the best I've gotten on any trip. It was closer to only 20mpg on the way there due to a cold engine. This route included roads that had speed limits of 30, 40, and 45 mph. And this is with the new ~60lb LT285/60r20s. Trip 1 for the current tank is around 20.5 and so is the lifetime Trip 2 as well. With the PSD installed to remove the stupid speaker drone, windows down due to being a really nice day outside, and having the audio off to just enjoy the drive, I could not hear the tires over the regular engine noise, whether actual or fake piped in. So to me, there has been so discernible difference from the OEM Hankooks to these slighter larger Geolandars.

Do love those tires. My boss has them on his truck (just realized yesterday) and they are very quiet.Finally got leveled and went to Nitto Trail Grapplers. LOVE the look and the noise is not much louder. Definitely seeing a decrease in mileage (which has never been close to 24). Down to 17.5 from 19.5. Still very acceptable for a big ass truck with a 7000 watt generator!

Very nice! Have you had them long enough to see any significant difference in mpg?
Can't say how the Hankook work in snow, as I traded them in and had the General and Toyo's installed before I picked up the trucks. Both the Toyo and General Grabbers work really well in the deep snow. On icy conditions, the General Grabbers work a little better for grip and stopping power vs the Toyo AT3's
I have the same wheels, was going to go with the Michelin LTX but those look good. And I know its been asked, but no issue with road noise on the interstate or higher speeds?Installed Geolandar G015 LT285/60r20 yesterday on my PB and really like them so far.

Keep in mind that the computer MPG/Speedometer/Odometer are going to be off with the larger tires until you get it recalibrated.
I honestly haven't noticed a change, but then again, I haven't used a decibel meter to compare the two. Is it possible there is up to a 5-10db change, I really don't know. I'd have to drive another stock truck side by side. Wish I could provide a more scientific analysis, but all I have is this.
I am seriously considering these, I was curious about any MPG loss? I am sure it has been stated before but I am wondering about your experience w/ these tires? did you level or keep the factory rake on the front end?
