Need opinion on tires....help

I looking for some new tires

Nitto G2
Toyo AT2
Wildpeak AT
BF Rugged Terrain

Need good and bad on all from this who have owned. I know the G2's are pretty new. Most of my driving will be highway.

Also looking at either 275/60/20 or 305/50/20 tires are mainly for the "beefy" look. Not sure if I would gain anything by going wider. I will be adding a CCM 2.5/1 at the same time i get tires.

Thanks

I know a few guys that run the G2 and like them.

Thanks fiatdale.

Come on guys, i know alot you have some kind of opinion about the tires and sizes in question.

I have 18" on my Z71 but run the 285/60R18 10 ply Terra Grapplers and like them. That equates to a 31x11.50 instead of the stock 31x10.5 so a smidgeon wider. Looks great, rides fine, decent wet traction, doesn't howl (very little to my ears), clears the tread quickly after some off-roading, and I know the 10 ply can take rocks without punctures better than a street tire. Extremely little rub on the back inside wheel skirt during maximum compression on the suspension. When I replace them, it will be between the G2 and AWT. I ran Nitto's on my wife's Buick Grand National for years and have been a Nitto guy ever since.

Fireston Destination LE's are rated really high and are very inexpensive, Michellin LTX's which I had on my last truck or the new Continentals LX20's which I will be buying next or if money is no object and if you want the beefy look then the BFG All Terrain KO's. Not the best for highway but not many highway tires are beefy looking!

The Wildpeak AT is a heavy tire, so I would go with Toyo or Nitto.

I live in NC we usually get snow once or twice a year only a couple inches.

I ran the 305/55/20 Toyo Open Country AT Extremes on my '14 Chevy LTZ 4x4 prior to trading it in on the new '15 Yukon. I loved them...would not hesitate to buy them again for that type of application or "look." I came out of a set of Nitto Trail Grapplers before that...Toyo's were very quiet and smooth riding for a pretty aggressive looking tread pattern. They get my vote every time. And the 305/55 is a 10-ply. Note: Certain sizes get the "Extreme" designation; the sidewall pattern is more aggressive in this than the normal ATII. See pic below...
