I have narrowed down my set of wheels I'm going to get now I need to pick a tire and size.

 

I noticed a lot of people seem to like the Cooper Zeon LTZ's and I really like the look of them. I can't find any exact info on weight though.

 

I'm looking at tires sizes 275/55/20 and 275/60/20

 

On a Titan forum someone said the 275/60/20 weighs 53lbs!!! is this true? That would probably put the 275/55/20 in the 50-51lb range I would think. Those are really heavy if those are the correct numbers. Other tires I'm looking at in those sixes are in the 42-44lb range.

 

Other tires I'm looking at are:

Yokohama Geolander ATS (currently run these on 2 vehicles with no complaints, just kinda like the look of the coopers) - 42lbs/43lbs

 

 

I currently have the 20" factory combo which is around 78lbs. (36+32). The new wheels I'm looking at are listed at 31.4lbs. So if the Zeon's do weight 53lbs I would have a weight gain of 6.4lbs per wheel. I drive in a lot of traffic on the weekdays and my mpg is already bad enough. I really don't want to add to the problem if I can get other tires that are much lighter and maybe even save a couple pounds per wheel or break even.

I will have the 275/60/20 Zeons on in about a week and I will let you know what it does to my mileage.

 

 

Will you have the tires in your possession unmounted at all or are you just going to a shop to have them put on? If you have them unmounted any chance you could toss them on a scale? The gas mileage info could be really useful though. I would appreciate that. Even though you have a 6.2 I would think it should be close to proportional.

I will just have the tires shipped to my house. If I think of it before I put them on I will weigh them to see. I thought I saw somewhere that the zeons where around 47 lbs, but I will confirm that as soon as mine come in.

I have the 275/60/20 Coopers mounted on MB Gunner 6 wheels and only get 12.5 mpg on average with 50/50 city/highway. Truck is 2008 ext cab with 3.73 gears and 5.3 with Blackbear tune and AFM turned off. If I take a road trip i will get about 21 mpg.

Go ahead and spend a little more $ and get the toyo a/t II

 

You get alot more tread life

 

 

Then you'll also get a tire with a lower load rating and thinner tread depth. (If your comparing the size mentioned in the thread)

The more I look at it, I think I'm going to be stuck running a 275/55/20. Originally I was thinking of trying to run the 275/60 but I think even if i level my Avalanche the 33's will be too big. Ideally a 32" tire would be perfect but.....the only 20" 32" tire I can find that they actually make is a 285/55 and those are $$$ for some reason. Tire choice are also extremely limited in that size.

I tried a 275/60R20 on my truck in the cooper discoverer ht plus. The shop mounted it for me and they test fit. It barely rubbed and that was with it up on the rack. So I settled with 275/55R20

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads

      By glenn27 · Posted

      ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.
