So I'm looking at getting a 2-3" leveling kit on my 09 Sierra. I want to give it more of a "truck" look. I've been looking for rims and tires and so far I really like the look of the 17" American Racing Assaults- Chrome and Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ's 305/65s. How do people like these tires? Any experience, or heard good or bad? I like the aggresive look of them but they also don't seem overly aggresive. Also whats back spacing? I'll be honest, I'm 17 and have never bought tires or rims, so I am totally new to this. I read on a forum that I would need 5.5" backspacing, which right now means nothing to me :lol: . And in order to help pay for them I want to get rid of my stock tires and rims. They're the stock rims and tires that came on it, 17" with wrangler at/s's with just under 10,000 miles. What could ask or expect to get for them? I was thinking $750ish, but maybe thats way off? Or would the tire place(Big O's) possibly buy them from me if I get my rims and tires from them? http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http:/...ch:1&itbs=1 Theres the look that I am going for. Right now the truck is completely stock. After doing the rims, tires, and leveling kit, I want to do tinting, chrome grill overlay, dual exhaust, and possibly nerf bars and either chrome or red door handles and mirror covers. I'm super excited to get this all under way!

Please help me out! And THANKS!

best thing to do is search ebay for prices on oem rims. Be sure to look for listings similar to what you would be selling (rims, tires, tpms sensors included).

Royce... not saying that 750 isnt what they are "worth" but if you want to actually sell them without holding them for a year trying to find a buyer you will need to ask less money.. Used tires arent worth much, and those wheels are the 17s which are the least valuable. I would say if u tried to get $500 and work from there.

Sold my 17" stock wheels and tires last month for $400. I might have been able to get a little more, but also didin't want them sitting in the garage forever.

In response to your tires I have and like them...mostly. I like the look and the off-road performance. I have taken them through some mud and sand and have yet t get stuck in 2wd. They hold rocks too good though. They are noisy on the street, but it is to be expected. As far a street performance I have yet to test them out too well. For the price I paid for them I don't feel like pushing them like I did a more street treaded tire. I am very gentle on them to say the least. I have my buddies calling me grandpa. Matt had a thread on tire wear for them and based on that I hope to get @ 50000 to 60000 miles out of them. Good tires though.

Thanks, how loud are they compared to stock? I dont want annoying, but I can deal with a little extra noise. And how much room do you have before you'd rub, I read that a guy did 305/65s with a 2" leveling kit- no trimming, and I just dont know if they will fit, but if they do I'm thinkin thats what i'll probably want. Who knows, maybe theres a better tire out there for me. I plan on driving in pretty much every condition, lot of highway, lot of gravel, snow, ice, rain. I live in SD so we have everything, and I do alot of hunting so that means mud dirt and rough stuff. Any experience with them in winter conditions?

I sold my stock 18" Z71 Wheels and stock Bridgestone tires for $500.00.

I might have been able to get more but like everyone else I was looking to get rid of them so I took the 1st offer I got.

No experience in winter conditions, but everything else so far has been good. The noise is quite a bit more than stock because of the lug pattern being similar to a mud terrain. My exhaust drowns it out pretty good and I have a magnaflow exhaust...not too loud like a flowmaster. You should do good with them if you drive like you say. I do about the same split...except for the winter conditions.

Looking like I am gonna go with 17" Ballistic Wizards- Chrome and Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ's 305/65/17 and a 2" RC Level. I am worried about the tires rubbing because of width... What mostly causes the to rub? The width or the diameter? They are 12" wide and 32.6 wide. Anyone know if they will fit?

K. The 285/70/17 would fit without rubbing I suppose, its slightly taller than the 305, but 0,8 inch narrower. They recommend an 8.5" rim with the 285 though, would they work on a 9? And the 285 is about $30 more a tire... I would much rather do the 305 if I can. Is trimming a big nuisance?

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
