Ran them through any mud yet? I'm not too worried about snow here, though obviously if you have to put up with those conditions the duratracs are the way to go. I have yet to decide between them or Toyo MTs. Hell thought about BFG KM2s but idk how well they wear. I know the RTs will handle dirt i just have yet to see how they handle mud. The big side lugs should clean well as much space that's in between them, but i see the middle pretty much gumming up with the buckshot/clay we have down here.

 

This is another reason i switched to 17s, weight. The 285/70/17 RT is 58lbs as opposed to 69lbs for the 33x12.5x20 RT. Though the difference between comparable MTs isn't as much 69lbs to 72lbs. All according to Toyo's specifications anyhow.

 

So is that your city mileage that got cut or overall? Overall would kill me but i do expect to take a hit. Going to try and counter it with exhaust/tune/CAI.

 

I've also given a lot of thought to Mickey Thompson ATZ or MTZ also, just don't know how they wear.

The dirt roads I run down do get muddy and they hold traction very well. Unfortunately I do have to deal with snow, ice, extra....

That is overall milage. I run about 50miles per day most being on the highway. But I do run 75-90mph too at 4500ft+ elevation. I almost went with MTs but the RTs were new and alittle more pavement friendly. That part Im very happy with.

I'll getting a new wheel/tire setup soon. I'm going 275/65/20 on a 20x9 rim. Since the rims are a little wider than stock should I go +1 or +20 offset. I have 2.5" RC level with rear block thx

Stock All Terrain Wheels are 20x9 with a +27 offset with 275/55/20's tires.

 

Your new set up isn't wider, but 2" taller. But if it were me, I would go with the +1 offset on the new wheels. It will push your tires out some, almost making your truck 2" wider. (You would be pushing your wheels outward 26mm, which is close to over inch, but over inch for each wheel)

Oh k I thought the stock wheels were 8.5"

 

The wider stance would be great but would it not cause more of a potential rubbing issue?

The less positive offset (closer to zero), the more you will get your your away from your upper control arm, so less rubbing there. The rubbing from the taller tire will be around your inner fender. Most people can zip tie them back or trim them and be fine

For those of you running an LT rated tire, how harsh is the ride over stock? I have Toyo Open Country At2's (275-60-20) on my stock 20's right now (P rated), but am planning on getting some new wheels in the next few mos and putting on 275-65-20 or 295-55-20 Toyo Open Country AT2 which are LT 10 ply and weigh about 14-17lb more than my current tires. Any real world experience on those sizes and tire sizes/brand as far as ride and mpg loss would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have any pictures up close of this tire. I'm thinking about buying this exact tire. Would be great if I could see the tires on the truck already. I want to move up the the LT tire too because I think I read on here that the LT tire has a different tread pattern than the P rated. Have you seen if the LT275/65/20 has a significantly different tread?

Hard to say, I lifted my truck at the same time. Definitely doesn't have the "Cadillac" ride, but it looks cool, and goes where I need it to

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. 😉      By the way this is the "signature... ¬

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
