can you take pic of your tires in the more light. I'm thinking of getting the same tires. Do you like them

Sorry went back to stock wheels and a set of michelin ltx at2 tires. Never could get them to balance. I have had the nitto tires many times before and they are great tires.

OK and thank you

I ordered these in Feb as I knew they would be releasing soon. Got lucky as my tire place thought they would be back ordered another 6 weeks near end of March when they were originally expecting them, then they showed up the next day. Rims are black and machined black I believe, color seems to change a little depending on the light84cd0136eb9fa300dc758de9872ce642.jpgd538ee416c9143761659f5b7f4abe34a.jpg146890ee4f7271ea8c66dc695ea09c57.jpg21f95ae16eaa08966d51a09a97cd31cd.jpg26ee034b722af41e3b2c983c09147fcf.jpg

How you liking the tire wheel and leveling kit set up? Any rubbing or other issues,should you go the same route if you were able to do it over?

The setup has been good, leveling kit no issues and still rides nice, tires did rub a bit but I chopped a piece of the fender carpet out and don't notice anything anymore. They handle great in the mud and the few days I ran them in snow, gravel I thought they could be better, and on the highway I don't find them loud at all. Wheels still look good and have only seen one other truck running them which is nice. Next time may buy a slightly wider tire but other than that it's a great setup

thats what I was thinking also just a bit wider love the truck. Have a 15 all terrain with the 6.2 and 8 speed with 3.23s.

You sure about that size? That's almost 34" tires with just an 2.5 level? pretty awesome-blossom if you ask me!

they will work with that level kit. I'm running 295/60/20 Cooper STT PROs on a 2015 Midnight edition Silverado with no issues. cooper specs those tires at 34.3"

Some nice trucks in this thread!!

My goal was to stay tame, functional for towing, and still look good. I also did not want wheels yout see everywhere.

I chose 20x9 Raceline wheels offset is 0. 2" level and 285/55r20 AT2 Extemes. Worked out well for me! Still decent on gas.

kayslays setup was what made me go with the KO2s, but it didn't turn out like i had planned. the offset of his fuel rims makes his tires look wider than they are, where i still have the stock AT rims with a less aggressive offset, if makes mine just look tall and skinny. i do like the KO2s this and I'm glad i went with them.

i went one size wider. that resulted in a slightly taller tire too. the sidewall is slightly different than the rest of the ltx at2 because this size was developed for toyota on the tundra. guess they get a specific sidewall for their trucks. i am very pleased with them. not super all terrain but enough for what i need.

if GM would put those Michelins on their trucks stock like Toyota does on the TRD that would be nice. Much better than the GY crap they put on that we pay $350 extra for an "A/T tire option".

Just got my Suspensionmaxx leveling kit and Nitto Terra Grapplers (305/45/22).

 

Ordered my 22" relica CK156's today from Erica at Stock Wheel Solutions! She was great, and hooked me up with a better deal than advertised when I called. Hope to have everything installed in next few weeks.

Can you post a picture of the whole truck? I'm actually debating on keeping my 17's and buying these tires

    • I imagine the cold winters up here with repeated short runs in town every day for those that live and work in town and given what I have come to learn on this forum with DI engines having fuel dilution issues, and if they don't change the oil until it says to but keep driving it for a while, I bet all that is just lovely on those finicky lifters. 
    • I just did some reading and Stabilitrak is more than a what I had originally thought. It is more of a vehicle control system to help the driver in precarious situations. I thought it was only the AWD system. Now I know. So I changed the title for this thread to AWD conversion to Z71 
    • Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks
    • My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.
    • I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.
