anybody have an opinion? 18" wheels vs. 20"
Which, in your opinion, is a better size for tow vehicles and why?

Dunno, but my truck came with factory 20's with P275/55/20 Bridgestone tires, but the spare is an 18" with LT275/65/18 Goodyear Wranger tire on it..
Towing the same TT I towed with my old 97 F150 with 16" wheels on it with LT265/75/16 tires all I can say is the 20's perform better than those LT 16's...
I can corner better and it handles the trailer just fine and I don't see any reason to get LT 20" tires for it at all... :)
It's not the wheel diameter that determines the overall tire height size... It's the size of the tire on that wheel that makes the difference..
My 20's are the same height as my 18" wheel spare and basically the same height as what those 16" wheels were... It's the sidewall of the tire that makes all the difference..
Good luck!
