That's stock size on any 4x4. I have BFG all terrains not overly aggressive but here's a pic.

265/65/18 = 31.5x10.2" so it's unlikely anyone will have a real aggressive tire in stock height and width, people usually opt for a larger size.

275/70/18's will fit with a level kit, or 275/65/18 will fit on stock height (if you're not wanting to go much larger than stock). There's a lot more options for aggressive tires in those two sizes than the factory 265/65/18 size.

I just put a set of 275 70 18 Firestone Destination MT's on my stock Z71 today and it barely rubs the plastic at nearly full lock...I will have my RC 2.5 lift on next week but love the tires they really fill out the wheel wells!

I'm running 275/70/18 BFG AT KO's on my '14. It didn't rub before I put the leveling kit on, and it sure doesnt rub now. They ride awesome. The pic is before I added the RC 2" leveling kit

So the new body style trucks can fit a 275/70/18 without a level? That's pretty cool. Do you think they would have rubbed before the level if you had mud flaps?

You also wouldn't need to much of a level to fit the 275/70/18 tires. I only have a 1.5" front spacer on my truck and am able to clear these with a little room to spare.

how do they ride? They have always been my favorite. But they aren't recommended for 1500 trucks? According to the BFG website and my local discount tire. I'm thinking of going with them on my 18" wheels.

They are an LT tire so yes they are rated for a 1500 LT. LT meaning light truck.

 

They are a good balance of everything in a tire. Don't expect them to ride like a summer radial and you'll be pleased. Very good thread wear on these tires as well, I've put about 50k KM on the last set with regular balance and rotation.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Indeed a proper drain tap or drain valve with adapter that has a hose on it that opens up the valve as the adapter goes on is a slick setup and have that for certain highway tractors etc and other equipment that came from the factory with a tap but this L8T is pretty darned good other than me doing it on the floor and easy to touch hot exhaust and am not as agile as I used to be !. If I really want to pull a hot filter on an engine I will use an insulated set of thick neoprene gauntlet gloves but I am not in the hurry I used to need to be so things are done more relaxed and in theory somewhat safer ... I think LOL.    And as I mentioned the unique shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers, while they might not work as well as an offset pour spout container for some awkward engine location applications, they are working a lot better with my Lisle funnel kit because of how they prop up on all four corners when upside down resting on the rim of the funnel where the typical quart container would never stay put without holding onto it.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      Well, I just hit 100K a few weeks back, and I can honestly say I have not had any major issues with my '21 5.3 Crew cab.  I have done most routine maintenance, oil changes, air filter, tire rotations, and a transmission drain and filter change (not even a full flush).  A couple of months ago, I started experiencing the dreaded CLUNK when coming to a stop, sometimes hard enough to literally push the truck forward! After researching here and in other forums/youtube videos, etc, I was thinking it's the slip yoke. I finally had a chance to take it to my local mechanic today, and he was not able to recreate the issue.  Amazing, since it does it nearly every time I drive.  He also said he can't simply grease my slip yoke/driveshaft splines, because I have a 1 piece driveshaft.  I am not sure what else I can do.  Has anyone else had this issue or have any idea what else it could be?

      This is where the Fumoto drain valve comes in handy.  No mess and able to change oil hot, like right off the interstate hot.  Flows nice and you can direct it into a container. As for the oil filter, I use an old dixie cup or plastic one from McDonalds. It contains the oil as you pull the filter down and not all over your hand.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Well, if it did change from lifters to rocker arms, at least it would be easier to fix as they fail.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      Doesn't hurt to try.  It's my understanding that you have to run it at least 4 or 5 oil changes for things to get clean.  Think about it, your engine didn't get dirty in just an oil change so over time it will slowly clean. It's the safest way to do it and not have seal issues.      I remember  a product that came out a long time ago, AutoRX, it was an additive you put in the oil and then drove for 3k miles. Some saw improvements and some didn't. It was suggested to use a non synthetic with it at the time. Same observation, use a couple oil changes and give it time to work. It also stated it worked best if you could drive on trips to keep the oil hot.  I'm sure if you ask AI it could tell you all about it.
