Will a 265/70R17 fit a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD SLE?

The reason I ask this question is because a couple sites I've gone to, and punched in my exact vehicle info, have said that this size tire doesn't fit my vehicle. It's Sunday, no tire places are actually open, and there are some tires that have a rebate offer ending at midnight tonight that I'd like to take advantage of, and I'd almost bet my life that a 265/70R17 fits this truck, but I'd like to hear it from someone else before ordering......hopefully. Thanks in advance!

My dad had some 265 75 16s on his 2004 2wd with no rub but they were really close

I dont see you having a problem.. I thought that was the stock size on that truck...

 

Mine came with 245/70R17's, which is a joke. They even look wrong, in my opinion. I believe the SLT came with 265/70R17's, but I'm not positive. If it did, then they will fit mine. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the SLT simply has more bells and whistles than the SLE........nothing that would matter as far as tire fit.

 

This list of options at Discount Tire Direct shows almost everything but a 265/70R17, but I'm almost postitive the SLT came with it.

Yep, some 2wd trucks come with them I think. I think a lot came with 255/75/17's too, which are about the same size as a 265/70/17.

My buddy's 05 SLT Ext Cab 2wd came with the 245-70-17 with alum wheels. He has put the 265-70-17 on just this spring. No problems at all.

Thanks! Yeah, that's where I've seen that they put them on the same trick essentially.....the SLT, which just has a few more bells and whistles than the SLE.

 

Does your buddy do any driving "off the grid"?And I don't mean four wheeling......just like dirt roads that maybe are a little rough, pothole here and there, washboard road....stuff like that. That is my only real concern. The guy I might buy them from thought my mileage would go down a little too.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
