I HAVE 305/50/20 NITTO 420S's on my 2003 2 wheel drive mounted on 10" EAGLE ALLOY's #114. The tires are rated at 3086# @50 psi load which I think are equal to load range D. I don't haul any weight or trailer so they are more than adequit. Before them I had Michelin 285/75/16 LTX's. I can't tell any difference in the ride or handle with the Nitto's except at take off on wet pavement. The Michelins would spin way to easy.

Nitto makes a 305/55/20 (33" tall) load range E tire. Most anything smaller diameter will be a D. I ran 305/50/20's on my 2wd Ex, but would have preffered to run the 305/55/20's.

I have a 4 wheel drive but if you want load range E which I wanted also..after MUCH searching, Toyo open country AT's were the way to go.
