    Honestly...it sounds like it's worth it just to buy new rims with the tires with the mounting free.

    get 4-snow in the winter and stick with 2-ply light tires in the summer. heavy tires do nothing but destroy bearings and slow you down i.e. mudsharks,realtors, ect. ect...

    changing tires for your first time can be very frustrating i use a truck and a board to pop the beads and 2 prybars to change them. also if you have a bucket tractor or a skid steer the bucket facing down works awesome for popping beads.

    I think I am going to go with KT335's 20X10X9 with the following wheels:
    4/110 ITP .190 T-9 Pro Series Wheel 9X9 3.0 + 6.0 Polished

    is that the right size? is it ok that they are 9x9 and not 9x8?

    Yeah, that's OK. If you've got the $, pay a little extra and get the beadlocks. They make it a lot easier to change tires and the beads don't get torn up prying them off the rims. That equals no slow leaks from damaged beads.
