Well I'll be seeing you shortly then. I'll be going with the 18" NVs though. Going up to the tire store to get a good visual, still don't know wether to go with the 285/65 Toyo AT2's or 275/70 Ko2's. I do like the face of the 17" NV's more though, its actually concave vs the flat face of the 18" NV's.

I'm supposed to be getting my ko2's today. I love the tire tech in it but am having second thoughts about the look of the tire! Looks great on 17 or 18" rims but I am starting to hate the look of them on 20's. Maybe I've been staring at too many pictures...

Yeah, that was one of the reasons for 17 vs 18. The other reason is the offset. 17 you can get in 0. 18 you can get -12 or +18. I really love the look of 0 offset.

They look better in person, at least IMO.

You're right. I went to the local Ford dealer last night where they have a bunch of f150's modded with rims and tires to bring in the young guys (it works). Half of them had ko2's. and they looked great!

 

Now if all the dealerships would stop buying all the stock, I could finally get mine.

I was on the same boat as you, I saw a ton of guys on here with the 275/60r20 ko2 and was't all that impressed. Once they came in and we threw them on I was really blown away. Great looking tire. Post up pics once you get them on!

BFG KO2 275/65R20, RC 2" level (no rubbing)

Very little road noise, MPG doesn't seem to have been affected very much and ride quality is only slightly firmer than stock @ 42psi. Paid $1340 CDN installed. Overall very happy so far, I was debating a lot between the 60 and 65 but I'm glad I went this route. Looking forward to trying them in the snow.

 

Here's a before and after also:

Anyone who has run different offsets on their trucks have anything to say on fuel mileage relating to offset? On my 02 duramax I had some pro comp rock crawler 97 series 0 offset which were heavy as hell and I got much worse mileage with them than the stock wheels. There was no way for me to tell whether it was the weight of the wheel or the offset that affected the mileage. Any input?

Posted

It was the weight of the new wheel and tire as well as the increased width and rolling resistance. While offset may change aerodynamics slightly, you'll never see a real measurable difference on our trucks. Thats the only effect offset would have on mileage, its simply where the wheel and tire are located in the wheel well relative to the mounting flange.

Are 18s required on a max tow package silverado? Mine has OEM 18s. I want 17s in the future. Anyone know?

I see no reason at all that 18's would be required.

Had the tires and wheels installed an hour ago. Looks amazing actually. Really happy with that.

 

Unfortunately the balancing has to be off, the truck was shaking like a son of a on the highway.

 

Also unfortunately, my desktop crashed this morning so I can't upload pics from my camera and edit them...Will post as soon as I fix it.

    • 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.
