I'm looking at these tires. How do you like them?

How are they in the rain?

Noisy?

Thanks.

 

Also, I'm new here and it's time for tires on my truck. I'm thinking about going with the Bilstein leveling shocks. What is the consensus on them? is there a better way to level? Also, I'm planning on using 275/60/20

 

 

 

So far so good, only had them less than a week. Ride is good, they are an A/T tire and will be noisier than stock, but not terrible. Hasn't rained yet, so no feed back on that.

 

Bilsteins are a good way to go. The shop who did my level said they would recommend them over any spacer leveling kit. I went against that advice, primarily due to price. I got a deal that I couldn't pass up. Im happy with my readylift 2.25 with UCAs.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

I have these tires and love the look and ride. I am running 285/70s on stock 17s. They do well in the rain and have not had any issues so far. I’m also running the MotoFab 3/2 level/lift kit on my 15 Crew Cab.

2014 Silverado LT leveled with Falken 35’s on 17’s by Method 

Dang! Those look huge! What did you have to do to make those fit? And are they 35x12.50x17 or 315/70/17?

Can you turn the wheels with the 35’s. How much level and how much rubbing


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes i can all the way. I removed the sway bar and did a norcal tuck to clear the tire but i also removed some of the wheel well liner for extra clearance off road. As far as the level its a simple 2in coil spacer. Later on gonna go with a mid travel kit.

I did a norcal tuck with some wheel well liner taken off and removed the sway bar didnt have to but it feels so much better off road and the tires are 35x12.5x17 yes they look huge on the truck as it sits right now. Currently working on a front skid plate bumper !

I've got them in 285/65r18 on stockers....says 33x11 on the side.    Great fit with a level, but 305/65 would probably fit too.   Look incredible.  Ride pretty good.  Not noisy.  Great wet weather traction.   I've got 45psi in them and it feels weird going into a fast corner...like the truck is leaning.    I just take those corners slower now because I don't want to run 50psi in them.

I've read this whole post and went back a few time but still have a few questions. 

 

I'm going to be putting on some Bilstein 6112 shocks on the top level with a .5" upper spacer for about 2.25" lift. I really want to go with 275/65R20 BFG KO2's. I'm also looking at some Fuel Maverick 20x9 wheels and not sure if I can get away with the +1 offset or if I should go with +20. I want the wheels/tires to stick out just a little past the fender but also don't want any rubbing. 

 

With that all said, do you think can I do the +1 with the 275/65's? Or should I go with the +20 offset with 275/65's? Or are the 275/65 to much and I should go with 275/60's? 

 

Appreciate your input...just want to do this once! Truck info in signature.

I recommend going to "CustomOffsets.com", choosing "Gallery", then click on the "Advanced Search" button and I think you will find a few folks that did something close or the same (and I have no relationship to this company--just a great resource for me).  Maybe you have seen that resource already.

Driveway incline makes it look like it is squatting, but it is perfectly level.

 

2015 LTZ Summit White

275/65/18 on stock 18s

I traded my 20s with a guy that had an LT, plus $300 bucks on his end.  Tires were brand new on both sets, so the trade worked out well.  I like the 18s a lot better, and they ride smoother.

Oooo, me likey!  Been trying to figure out what to do with my 2015 when it's time for new tires (only 24k on it......lol).  Granted I am just looking at the Discount Tire site, but it says it won't fit.  I'm assuming that it works on yours because of the leveling kit?  I'd like to do something, but I don't like the flat truck look, especially after you put 5 pounds in the back and it squats.

Just put new wheels on today. Zone 2 inch front level. 275 65 18 Hankook Dynapro ATMs, 18x9 -12 offset XF Off-road XF-203 wheels. Happy with how it turned out. The stance with the -12 offset is more aggressive than I was expecting, which is good.

It has a 2.25 inch level. But it still has a bit of rake which is nice for hauling. Tires dont rub any.

Any change in your MPG with these tires?

At least 1mpg if not 2mpg.   Get more like 15+ now instead of 17+.    Definite power loss when towing something heavy.   If they were 35s, I'd want to re-gear to 4:11.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
