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!

New tires arrived. Now the wait for wheels.

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.

    • 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 maybe 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.        
    • 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!
