More puncture resistance at lower pressures? Somehow I wasn’t expecting that.

For any brand/model tire, the LT will be on more aggressive side. With taller tread elements, stiffer and more durable tire construction including firmer tire compound, higher load rating, and more weight. Relative to its P brethren, this will translate into an incrementally firmer ride, louder tire, and more truckish handling on account of unsprung weight. On the plus side is more overall durability.
This is an old post - but curious which tire you went with? Thanks

Went with Cooper AT3's and absolutely love them. Comfort is great, quiet, and they handle very well on road. I'd get them again.
Well done. Would like to see a pic if you get a moment... thanks again.

How did mpg and power fair? Assuming mpg dropped a bit, was there a perceptible loss of power? Weight is what holds me back from the AT3.
I am looking for size increase without mods.
stock 285/50/R20 is at 31.2"
275/65r20 is at 34.1" - did you have to do any suspension modification to your 570 for fit/no rubbing etc.?
I have also read here that 285/55/R20 would be a slight size increase (32.3") from stock that wouldn't require mods.
I know this is a old post but if any one looking for a AT tire, I've got the new Toyo AT3 and it rides great and looks good too, I'd recommend them. I live in a 4 seasons area and was looking for the 3 peak rating. I have falken at3 on my 4 runner now and I like them but I like the toyo at3 better.
Road noise is not bad at all and does great in rain. With Ko2 I had some hydroplaning over a certain area to our cabin and tested with toyo at3 and it did great. I had Ko2 previously and it was louder. I have 2 sets of wheels and swap them to my toyo mt for more technical trails. Toyo AT3 2nd is falken at3 for me

Any more shots of your truck with the SCS’s?
I have the XLT in 275/65r20 on a 2010 LX570. I adjusted the height control for stock to be a little higher and also used a heat gun to massage the front wheel well plastic to push it out of the way.
Awesome! What size tires are those?
These are 33/12.5/18 for daily
@RUMble907 Love those wheels! with they had a 17" option..
Looks great! Big fan of those wheels, looks like you have UCAs, typical questions:
- any rubbing? cutting or trimming required?
- lift?
I have king's 2.5 with total chaos uppers. fronts was 2.5" lift but it settled a little under 2". I don't want to add any more preload so I might add a Toyota coil spacer. I have the 2720 rears about .5 lift, at the time I didn't need a heavy duty spring but I just recently sold my truck and I picked up a teardrop trailer and hauling more with lc I will swap out rears here soon . But at the moment it rides great, soaks everything up.
Trimming was just around the front inner fender liner and removed the mud flaps.

@RUMble907 The Kings instructions say no spacers.
Well good to know. Ill double check the instructions. I'll probably crank it back to get me another inch or so
I went with 275/60/R20 at 33" minor rubbing at full lock at normal height, besides tire size look at tire dimensions on spec page for actual size. Some manufactures add a little more beef to the tires. Tire Size Calculator - Compare Tire Sizes | Tacoma World has a great tire size comparison tool and helps with finding alternate sizes as well.
