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.

BFG AT KO2

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.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
