anybody have an opinion? 18" wheels vs. 20"
Which, in your opinion, is a better size for tow vehicles and why?
Forum Discussion
Depends on the size of the tow vehicle and the class of the tire.
18" and 20" LT E tires are better suited for HD 3/4 and one ton trucks with a diesel. IMO a poor choice for a half ton and a small gas engine.
A 20" LT E can weigh as much as 60 lbs with a 9" plus wide tread depending on size. Same with the 18". This tire has a lot of parasitic drag from tire weight and tread width which can make it a power killer on small engines. The diesel will barely notice it.
A 18"-20" P tire may weigh 30+ lbs and a better choice for a small block gas engine.
Leave the big tire for the trucks with big engines. JMO
