I have 20's on my x, I use goodyears I forget what type(too lazy to go walk outside and check) But anyway the size is 275/45/20 I get a little rubbing when I make really hard left or right handed turns but from what I hear on the forum that is pretty much normal for that size tire and rim combo. Other than that there fine, I run 32-35 psi and all is well. Hope this hepled
 






yup that's what i needed someone also suggested 245/40/20
 






I just double checked I have goodyear eagle GT II. Me personally on 20's I wouldn't go with 245/40/20, I would go wider, Like I said I have 275/45 which gave me a little more meat on my tires. A 40 series tire... It's just a little to lo-pro for my tatse. Also do you plan on lowering your truck?

Ask around the more meat you can get on your tires the better... I think, I also live in New,York AKA Pot hole city.
 






275/40-20 would be too thin. Try to go for atleast 45 or even 50 series. You won't be sorry when you hit that first pothole. And your suspension would thank you too.
 






a 245/40/20 would be way too short IMHO. they are only 27.7" tall, and you would have to be bagged for them to look right. get the 275/45/20 Goodyears. their pretty cheap for a 20" tire, and look the best on a mildly lowered X.
 






Hi James. Any specific Goodyear model you recommend?
 






im pretty sure the Goodyear 275/45/20 only comes in the GTII. thats what everyone that runs 20's on an X uses.
 






Any idea of the cost and if 285/50-20 is a available?
 






thanks for all of your help!!
