Default Has anyone switched from OEM 21" wheels to OEM 20's?

I've been lurking here since I got my 2019 570 last Feb. This is my first post and may I start by saying thanks for all the great info!

I've read several threads on different wheel options for this truck but I never read anything from someone who has rode on both the 20" wheels and the 21's.

I have the 21's and I'm thinking of moving to the 20's to smooth out the bumps a bit. None of the three dealers around me has a truck with 20s, so I haven't been able to directly compare the differnce in ride.
I can get a set of OEM 20" rims with Michelin Defender LTXs for around $3k. I'm curious if the improvement in ride is worth that sum.

Has anyone else made the switch?

Thanks,
Klyde

I doubt you'll feel that much of a difference between the two sizes...the increase in sidewall is only about 1/2-inch. I went from 20's to 18's and noticed a big difference in comfort both on and off road, and a fantastic selection of tires v. the 21's. I'm driving on Toyo ATII's in good weather, Blizzaks go on Tundra zero mile take-off wheels in a week or so.
