That's a classic wheel that always looks good on GM trucks.

 

Very Nice!

GTALLDAY has similar Moto wheels like that on his iridium build and it looks quite good, i'm just wild about the Shiny-ness.

Saw this a couple weeks ago and was surprised at how good this wheel looked on Iridium. This truck looked incredible in person. Sorry for the lousy picture quality.image_zpsaa2nfbd0.jpg

I need help deciding on some tires.

 

I'm torn between the BFG AT KO2 and the Cooper Discoverer AT3. The BFG is probably a more aggressive looking, definitely more expensive ( about $400 more). But I like the Coopers because they will probably ride a little quieter and have a bit more of a refined look compared to the BFG's. I've had BFG ATs in the past, and they were always great tires. But I feel like they are very common and a lot of people run them. Coopers have a 55,000 mile warranty. I can't find a mileage warranty on the KO2's.

 

I have decided on a size, LT285/55r20. Which is just slightly taller and wider than stock, which is fine. I have my Bilstein leveling shocks set at 1.25" up front which gives me a little extra clearance and I do not want to rub at all. My truck is a street queen, but it can see some dirt on occasion. The stock Goodyear SRA's are just not cutting it, crappy traction all around in any condition. While the stock Goodyears don't ride all that bad, they do seem to get a little wobbly at speeds above 75mph.

 

I will be mounting whatever tires I buy on my stock 20" All Terrain wheels.

 

Looking for opinions and thoughts.

I'm sure Coopers are awesome ... but for me i gave the KO2 a chance back n November before winter got here... they've been great 17,000 miles so on them so far. I went with 275/60/20... my next set will be 275/65/20 n bfg ko2. Just took this pick. I think these tires will do 60,000 + miles easy. 8bee5a8226cc0f959535ed53bfabf8ed.jpg

Thanks. I know the KO2's would probably do well mileage wise. One thing that bothers me about them tho is the new sidewall design. Seems a little busy to me.

I wish 285/55/20 came in something other than 10ply e load. They're just over kill for the typical street truck.

I have the Cooper AT3s in a 275/60/20 and love them. Quiet good off road and smooth.

My buddy got the AT3s but he isn't a really a truck guy so i doubt he can tell me how they handle. Everyone has KO2s, solid AT, good wear, great looking tire as well. But as you said pricey.

 

I'd save 40$ a tire between the K02s and grab 285/55/20 Toyo ATIIs

I had the AT3's on my 2012, I was happy with them in the summer, but once the snow came I wasn't as impressed… I have a set of KO2's sitting in the garage, but I haven't put them on yet to know what they are like…

I'll be moving to Nevada soon, so snow is not really a concern for me. :)

 

Put a deposit down on some Discoverer AT3's this afternoon. Should have them installed sometime next week. I'm sure the BFG's are great, but something about them made me want to go a different route. Thanks for all who posted.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
