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.

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

    • If one can't be found, a good automotive upholstery shop should be able to replace/sew in a new panel where the damage is on the old cover. It might not be the cheapest option..
    • Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process. 
    • I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.
    • Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like 
    • Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.
