The reason you do not see anyone talking about the Toyo Open Country C/T's is because they are not available in the American market. My understanding is that the C/T is a tire that can offroad but made to perform to highest standards in snow. Or at least that's the idea behind it. I honestly couldn't say which tire would be better between the KO2 and C/T, that my friend will be a tough choice.

 

Not much of a tough choice. 450$ Canadian per tire vs 275$ Canadian. K02's win!

Wow that's a hell of a price difference.

Yeah no kidding. I'd love to try the C/T but there's no way.

Added 1.5 zone body lift to RC 2.5 level so my 305 55 20 would not rub with 0 offset. No rub at all at full lock. Love the ride also.

Plan on showing my new setup soon enough. I have brand new 15 Silverado high country. Presently getting a level lift now with blocks in the rear. Was gonna take a peek at what stocks looked like with that setup but pretty sure I'll be changing wheels and tires soon enough. My question is this, I'm sitting at 1500 miles on the truck, and the dealer is offering me 1500 to buy my tires and wheels if it's before the 2000 mile mark. Is that a fair assessment for a trade in value on new wheels or what do most of you do? Keep stocks around, sell them.... Try to get more for them off Craigslist etc?

Stayed with the SLT 20" rims and put some 35/12.5R20 Destination MT's on it. Zero rubbing but does hum a bit and at slow speeds kinda similar to wearing cleats, but I am freaking happy.

Need to know more about your setup! -24 is an aggressive stance with just level. How close are those tires throughout the turning radius?

This morning I installed a Suspension Maxx 1.5" level with the adapter for the Magnetic Ride Control and the 22" wheels I had and some new tires. I went with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 in a 305/45R22. I am surprised, but no cutting and no rubbing. I think it looks good.

I personally think that is a fair price, and it's easy which has a cost too.

That being said, I ALWAYS keep my original stuff around. Seems like every vehicle I sell has at least 2 sets of wheels and tires that go with it.

I'm with Big Matt on this one. I sold mine for 1300 because it was cash upfront and quick. Plus the stock Continentals sucked. If you're like me then your time is valuable. Too much time wasted dealing with flakes and shady contacts on craigslist to be worth it imo.

I would get a 1/4" wheel spacer. A friend had same issue and it fixed the problem.

I been running 35 psi on my 305-55-20 falken wildpeak. Is that a good number to stay in? I seen people running 50+. What's the difference if I put 50+?

That looks nice. I have the same wheels on my '15 SLT.

    • I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion. 
    • While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
    • Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage. 
    • This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
