What’s your wheel and tire size? Looks great!
I want to know the same. Tire and wheel size and offset. Those look like Nitto RG's?
EDIT: I found the info on the posters sig:
2022+ GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 3.0 Duramax - Titanium Rush Metallic
Bilstein 5100 1.1" Front Lift and 1" rear block
Toyo Open County AT3 285/60R20 Tires
TIS 556SB 20x10 -20 Offset Wheels
BAKFlip Tonneau Cover
Rough Country E-BOARD power running
Air Bags
The tires are 33.5" tall and 11.22 wide at the tread. A little smaller than I want to go. Would love to have a 34" tire with 12" width, but don't think there is a tire with those specs. Closest is 295/60 R20 which is what I have on now. 34" tall, 11.5" tread with (rounded numbers but very close) Nitto RG's. I need to replace mine soon - like now - as the tread is all but gone and it is true winter here where I live at 6100 ft in Montana at this point.

I had originally ordered the 295s, but my tire/wheel guy sent me photo of them rubbing. That said, I'm convinced that with a little effort I could get the 295s to work with my wheel offset and wheel width without rubbing. The photo was of the mud flap replacement cap. The replacement cap is a terrible design if you're trying to fit a larger tire without rubbing. I just took a heat gun to the cap and warmed up the plastic to move a couple of right angles out of the way. I have every intention of fitting a 295 or a 35" tire (35" is really a 34.5" tire) in there when my current tires wear out.
I have 295's on mine, with a -19 (or maybe -20) offset. I dremeled the stock AT4X mudflaps as much as possible. It doesn't run on those. I did remove the block behind the stock mudflaps of course.
Mine rubs on the skirting on the back inside of the wheel well a little bit. And the left front skirting a bit at full lock in. I could probably get that rub to stop with some zip ties, but never have done it. I just live with it.
Even 34.5" tall will rub a lot more than 34" (Nitto RG's 295 are 33.94" tall). I really want 35's, but then I would have to do some major trimming more than I want to. Will likely stick with 295's, and probably Nitto RG's, although your Toyo AT3's look nice. Every time I side by side compare to Nitto RG's, I still prefer the look of the Nitto RG's. Will probably be the case this time, also. Which I am probably ordering my new tires this week with snow and winter weather here for good where I live in Montana.

I do really wish I would have had the ability to get the 295s instead of the 285s. It's a long story...
Have still not ordered new tires for my truck, and it bit me in the ass yesterday. Did a job up at Georgetown lake here in MT. Up at the lake there is always about 2 months (or more) of winter weather/snow than down in lower elevations (note, lower elevations here are a mile high where I am at in MT).
My front tires got cupped bad on the inside as the alignment after my front level was not done properly (shop said their alignment machine was off and having issues). This was last spring when I noticed the inside of the front tires were not in good shape. The rear tires were not bad yet, although at that point I probably had 23K or so on them. So they swapped out the fronts to the back, so the backs are bad.
Anyway, the road down to this house (right on the lake) was very steep, completely snow and ice covered. Pulling my big enclosed job trailer, I barely made it down in low, crawling very slow. It was sketchy several times as I was sliding and the trailer started to fishtail slide behind me. But I got down and did the job. But knew getting out was going to be all but impossible. Boy do I wish I had chains.
Getting out, I found a side road that is basically unused, no one has driven on it since snow has fallen here, but it is much flatter and follows the lake more so I wasn't going to have to try to (impossibly) climb out on the road I took in. Even getting to the flatter side trail/road, there was a steepish area to get to that.
For reference, it wasn't freezing there yesterday, so it was slick, slick because of that. It took me three tries just to get up the incline to the flatter side trail, and to say I barely made it is an understatement.
So I HAVE to get new tires, now. I want to get Nitto RG's again, but am wondering if I should get a set of AT tires that are truly better in snow/ice/winter weather. The Mickey Thompson ones in posts above - are they really that much better in snow/ice? What are the other, good looking (like close to as good looking as Nitto RG's), options I should look at?
TIA for any info!

Not to put any other brand down, several great ones out there, and yet again sounding like a broken record, I can only vouch for my personal experience with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT tires. Riding through deep winter snow (24" or more) often with frozen hard ice below (of course needs extra care), temps way below freezing; yet be able scream around mountain road bends and turns in wet or dry weather with no fear. At the same time, amazingly quiet grip and performance on road, dry or wet, on dry or wet mountain trails although have not taken it rock climbing or intend to.

No rubbing on the 305s?

Thats standard factory size for my truck 305/70/R18. It came with Goodyear tires which I immediately replaced with MT's since I needed 3 peak rating for travel to Canada in Winter.

Yep. Sorry didn't realize it was an HD. Looks great
It's your experience that almost has me sold on the MT Baja Boss. I really like the Nitto RG's - still think they look the best - but your experience with the MT Baja Boss has me really close to going with those. I am going to check with my local tire guy here in MT and see what they will run me. I am guessing pretty close to the same as the Nitto RG's.
I need to pull the trigger this week (planning on making my decison tomorrow), more snow is coming Thursday night on, and it will for sure be snow packed pretty much everywhere after that. Did another job today up in the mountains, and it had a very steep, winding, tree lined trail/road up to the (very nice) new home. There was a little snow/ice on it the trail up, but not bad. Pulling an 8K 16' enclosed job trailer up roads like that with tires with very little tread left... isn't good if there if the whole road was actually covered in ice/snow (luckily that was not the case today).
I am also probably going to be chains that fit my tire size. Just in case.

When you need chains you need chains.
I usually carry two sets of ice breakers when out of town in winter.
