I think they would have a better responce from the truck croud (us and L's) if they bumped it up to a 345/40/18 to put it at the same diameter as the 305/45 Nitto. However it is going to be tough for us to fit in 18x11 rims with a 13.5" tire on stock leaf spring suspension keeping the tire in the wheel well.
I am just glad to see them consider the 295/50/16. Those will be great on a set of widened stock wheels for a great street sleeper.

The diameter of the tire is too small for my likeing on a truck. Not to mention, they are WAY too damn wide, they call for a 12 inch wide wheel
Now, if they would produce a 29-30 inch diameter tire for a 8 and 10 inch wide wheel they would sell a ton of them. They are catering more towards the exotics and tuner crowd with that tire. Damn trucks get no love

What I'd like to see is a tall tire with a little bit of tread width...

I'd love it if there was a 335/50 YR20...
