The reason you do not see anyone talking about the Toyo Open Country C/T's is because they are not available in the American market. My understanding is that the C/T is a tire that can offroad but made to perform to highest standards in snow. Or at least that's the idea behind it. I honestly couldn't say which tire would be better between the KO2 and C/T, that my friend will be a tough choice.

 

Not much of a tough choice. 450$ Canadian per tire vs 275$ Canadian. K02's win!

Wow that's a hell of a price difference.

Yeah no kidding. I'd love to try the C/T but there's no way.

Added 1.5 zone body lift to RC 2.5 level so my 305 55 20 would not rub with 0 offset. No rub at all at full lock. Love the ride also.

Plan on showing my new setup soon enough. I have brand new 15 Silverado high country. Presently getting a level lift now with blocks in the rear. Was gonna take a peek at what stocks looked like with that setup but pretty sure I'll be changing wheels and tires soon enough. My question is this, I'm sitting at 1500 miles on the truck, and the dealer is offering me 1500 to buy my tires and wheels if it's before the 2000 mile mark. Is that a fair assessment for a trade in value on new wheels or what do most of you do? Keep stocks around, sell them.... Try to get more for them off Craigslist etc?

Stayed with the SLT 20" rims and put some 35/12.5R20 Destination MT's on it. Zero rubbing but does hum a bit and at slow speeds kinda similar to wearing cleats, but I am freaking happy.

Need to know more about your setup! -24 is an aggressive stance with just level. How close are those tires throughout the turning radius?

This morning I installed a Suspension Maxx 1.5" level with the adapter for the Magnetic Ride Control and the 22" wheels I had and some new tires. I went with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 in a 305/45R22. I am surprised, but no cutting and no rubbing. I think it looks good.

I personally think that is a fair price, and it's easy which has a cost too.

That being said, I ALWAYS keep my original stuff around. Seems like every vehicle I sell has at least 2 sets of wheels and tires that go with it.

I'm with Big Matt on this one. I sold mine for 1300 because it was cash upfront and quick. Plus the stock Continentals sucked. If you're like me then your time is valuable. Too much time wasted dealing with flakes and shady contacts on craigslist to be worth it imo.

I would get a 1/4" wheel spacer. A friend had same issue and it fixed the problem.

That looks nice. I have the same wheels on my '15 SLT.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
