That's a classic wheel that always looks good on GM trucks.

 

Very Nice!

GTALLDAY has similar Moto wheels like that on his iridium build and it looks quite good, i'm just wild about the Shiny-ness.

Saw this a couple weeks ago and was surprised at how good this wheel looked on Iridium. This truck looked incredible in person. Sorry for the lousy picture quality.image_zpsaa2nfbd0.jpg

I need help deciding on some tires.

 

I'm torn between the BFG AT KO2 and the Cooper Discoverer AT3. The BFG is probably a more aggressive looking, definitely more expensive ( about $400 more). But I like the Coopers because they will probably ride a little quieter and have a bit more of a refined look compared to the BFG's. I've had BFG ATs in the past, and they were always great tires. But I feel like they are very common and a lot of people run them. Coopers have a 55,000 mile warranty. I can't find a mileage warranty on the KO2's.

 

I have decided on a size, LT285/55r20. Which is just slightly taller and wider than stock, which is fine. I have my Bilstein leveling shocks set at 1.25" up front which gives me a little extra clearance and I do not want to rub at all. My truck is a street queen, but it can see some dirt on occasion. The stock Goodyear SRA's are just not cutting it, crappy traction all around in any condition. While the stock Goodyears don't ride all that bad, they do seem to get a little wobbly at speeds above 75mph.

 

I will be mounting whatever tires I buy on my stock 20" All Terrain wheels.

 

Looking for opinions and thoughts.

I'm sure Coopers are awesome ... but for me i gave the KO2 a chance back n November before winter got here... they've been great 17,000 miles so on them so far. I went with 275/60/20... my next set will be 275/65/20 n bfg ko2. Just took this pick. I think these tires will do 60,000 + miles easy. 8bee5a8226cc0f959535ed53bfabf8ed.jpg

Thanks. I know the KO2's would probably do well mileage wise. One thing that bothers me about them tho is the new sidewall design. Seems a little busy to me.

I wish 285/55/20 came in something other than 10ply e load. They're just over kill for the typical street truck.

I have the Cooper AT3s in a 275/60/20 and love them. Quiet good off road and smooth.

My buddy got the AT3s but he isn't a really a truck guy so i doubt he can tell me how they handle. Everyone has KO2s, solid AT, good wear, great looking tire as well. But as you said pricey.

 

I'd save 40$ a tire between the K02s and grab 285/55/20 Toyo ATIIs

I had the AT3's on my 2012, I was happy with them in the summer, but once the snow came I wasn't as impressed… I have a set of KO2's sitting in the garage, but I haven't put them on yet to know what they are like…

I'll be moving to Nevada soon, so snow is not really a concern for me. :)

 

Put a deposit down on some Discoverer AT3's this afternoon. Should have them installed sometime next week. I'm sure the BFG's are great, but something about them made me want to go a different route. Thanks for all who posted.

    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
    • 2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.  
    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
