I have the Nitto NT05 275/35R20. They were ok, not gonna say there were terrible but they really weren't what I had hoped.
I also didn't think the 35 sidewall on a 275 tire would look so thin, wasn't a fan of it really and it lowered by truck as well since they are about 26.5-27" tall. I'd like to get a tire that's 29-30" tall for the Mojave mile. I topped out at 150mph earlier this spring because of gearing, tires size, and rev limiter among other things.

You know how to get the sidewall hieght of the tires by the numbers?
275/35/20
275 / 25.4(mm to inches) = 10.8" wide
10.8 * .35(aspect ratio... divide by 100 or move your decimal) = 3.78" (per sidewall)
3.78 * 2 = 7.57' total of both sidewalls
7.57 + 20(wheel dia) = 27.5
