I have a 5th Gen limited and as such, am limited in my tire selection choice. I am considering running 255/55/R20's. I had Nitto Terra Grapplers on my Tundra and they were excellent tires so I'm partial to the brand.

I know a lot of limited guys like the Continental's in either 255 or 275 width but does anyone have any experience running the Nitto NT421Q's? They seem to be a great tire but can't locate anyone on the forum having posted about them.

Due to the 7" wheel width.....No one to my knowledge makes an All-Terrain tire with a 7" wheel width. Most guys have to accept using a tire with a 7.5" width spec. I've read tons of posts from Limited owners saying that they've had no issues with 7.5" width but I prefer to stay within manufacturer's spec.
 
no offense but thats really dumb. i understand your concerns but they don't really apply. I'm also running the 7" rim with 11.5" wide tires, with full intent to run 12.5s. the whole point of the rim spec is just so the tires remain perfectly flat. as the rim gets narrower your start pulling the edges inside. it would be one thing if you were running a 12.50 on a 5" rim, but the half inch difference, even an inch difference is totally negligible. do yourself a favor and just get the tires you want and don't look back. you'll never know the difference.
 
I've also had good luck with the Nitto brand on several different vehicles, haven't tried these thou...

Fair enough but why not stay within OEM spec if possible? Obviously in this case I can't and there is enough user evidence to support the 275/55 R20 tire. Sometimes the details matter, in this instance it's clearly not an issue so I'll move forward.
