He may have done that to improve the ride. The few guys I know who have the TT tires say they feel the truck run over a penny. Would the lower profile tires preclude the necessity of a lift kit as well?

Yes if would. The smallest big rig tire is 36" tall with 22.5 or 24.5 wheels. More that likely those are Load range C tires and are 6 ply.....at most load range D which are 8 ply. That truck came with load range E 10 Ply. The big rig tires go from 14 ply on up. Here is a pic of mine. You will notice the difference in sidewall.

I tried the 22.5s with 14ply Michelins and finally got discouraged enough to take them back off, I finally ended up with direct fit 19.5s from Brentz wheels and 14ply Michelins, got rid of my vibrations, but the ride is still alot harsher than the stockers.
