I ran 285/65/18 with -12 offset on my Duramax with out a leveling kit, just the bars cranked a little. Had to do some minor trimming. A 1500 with a leveling kit has to sit around the same height right? I know the 2500's sit a little higher but I don't think it is 4 inches.

I have 2.25 ready lift, with 275/70 18 duratrac (33.4x11) on 18x9 moto metal wheels with zero offset. I ended up pulling bkac the back corners of the wheel well liners. Slightly touched.

 

2500 basically have a 1+ inch factory body lift compared to the1500s.

305/55/20 Duratracs, with a 2.5 level

Any rubbing? Trimming? And how's the mileage? I am debating on a 305/55/20 or a 285/60/20

Nitto has a new. to me anyway, Exo Grappler AWT. Not a lot of sizes yet but they do have 275/65/20, seems to be the popular one. They look great.

http://www.nittotire.com/light-truck-tires/exo-grappler-all-weather-traction-light-truck-tire/

 

That looks like it'll be a nice tire. It's got the snowflake symbol so it should be good in snow/ice. I wonder if it will be as good as the Duratrac. If it's close it'll be a nice alternative as it will be available in several sizes the Duratracs aren't.

I like the look of them. Seem similar to the Duratracs. I will be looking forward to reviews, hopefully soon.

I have seen in another forum that 295/60/20 fit on a 2.5" level kit, so I was wondering if the 285/70/18 or the 295/70/18 would also fit on a 2.5" level? On stock wheels?

 

Here are the sizes of those tires:

 

295/60/20 = 33.9 x 11.61

285/70/18 = 33.7 x 11.22

295/70/18 = 34.3 x 11.61

 

Here is the link that I got the specs from:

I hope the link works.

 

Thanks in advance.

It also depends on what tire you want to run brand wise. some sizes are aren't available by all. 275/65/20 is a very open choice. It also depends how you like the width to look. Personally, I prefer the wider variants as long as there is still some good sidewall.

For the Nitto Terra's the weights are around 60 lbs for 275/65/20 and 68 lbs for 295/60/20 (I think. they removed weights from their site)

For the Toyo AT II's the weights are around 57 lbs for 275/65/20 and 62 lbs for 295/60/20

 

The Toyos seem to be a bit lighter, if the weights for the Nittos are correct. I found those on a random site. Haven't heard anything bad about either tire so really it comes down to looks and road noise if that's an issue. From reading, I think the Terra might be quieter, not that the Toyos are loud. There are lots of reviews going around though.

No, that is way to much offset for a 2" level…

The one on the bottom is running a 4" lift and 9", 0 offset wheels. Took a good bit of trimming to make them fit. I saw the cutting he had to do first hand. The 275 should be close to an inch narrower so should have a better chance however I think you could have issues even with those tires with the wheel offset you are looking at. If cutting doesn't bother you by all means go 295s

I'd rather not cut, I know the black denali is running the 275/65 without cutting or trimming on a +20 rim.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.
