7 months later you still loving the tires? Thinking about going with these next week in 265 60 18’s. Thanks for your time!
Yes, I recommend them! No issues, love the look, ride & handling. I do have an over-sized spare (& plug kit) in my bed, especially on trips. Something to consider adding for peace of mind.

Fairly old post, but did your wife ever comment on the smoothness (or lack of) after the change? Also did you notice additional road noise? Saw your later comments about being satisfied yourself with those aspects.

I'm at 40k on my 2019 and it's about to get into winter, so need to determine what to replace the Firestones with. I like look of your bigger wheel/tire combination, but am probably too cheap to buy new wheels :). However I am really interested in all-terrain tires as long as they don't detract from the great handling/comfort. I'm on steep gravel roads at least weekly, and while I'm not too fussy about looks, I do think the AT tires improve the look of the truck.96

Thanks for any additional input.
 
After much research, I purchased the Continental ATs for my 2019 RTL. Too much hydro-planning with the Firestones in the rain, though they were not awful in the snow.
I am sure I lost a bit of MPGs but I would rather have the traction. I drive mostly HWY and occasion sand and fire road in the summer. It's not really an offroad truck as I bought it for exactly as I stated. I noticed Honda is now coming with a more aggressive tire. With the new tires the ride has a very mild impact for smoothness, not a real tradeoff.

My experience - Happy with the purchase and the ride in snow, rain and dry pavements- Strong sidewalls protect tires from damaging off-road material. I am not saying I would drive through northern Canada in February or the sands of the Arabian desert or go rock crawling, but they work for me for this truck and better than the Firestones that came with the vehicle. Aesthetically, I like the look a better as well.

Ride great, Look Great. Usage = Northeast US and Southeast US. Into the woods, onto the beach, around the lake and commute.
