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+?

Are they P305/55R20's or LT305/55R20's? Typically LT tires would have 40-50 psi, sometimes more when towing or hauling a lot weight. P tires are normally less than 40 psi.

 

Looks like Falken might only make an LT version in 305/55R20.I'd start at 40 and adjust it from there.

Yes they are LT. Might try putting them at 40 and see what it does.

Anybody know where you can buy GM rims? I really like the chrome Denali rims and some of the other AT rims.

Besides that, what are some other good sites for other brands?

I've got the exact same tires in that size on my truck. I usually have the PSI around 35-40 and anything more than that makes the ride super harsh in my opinion. Around town I like them at 35 and when I take a long road trip I'll pump them up to 40.

You should not run 50 psi on any size tire. 50 is Max psi (Blow up territory). If you are running at 35 psi cold, it will go up 2-3 psi, depending on how long you drive. With added weight you will go up another 2-3 psi. So the max you can put in your tires is 40psi. rule of thumbs for me is 10psi below max recommended.

Depends on whether the tires are P-metric or LT's. His are LT load range E's with a max inflation of 65 psi. You'd be correct if he had P305/55R20's.

What is the actual size of that tire when mounted on the truck (true height, tread width, and section width)? Would like to see some low angle front and rear pics to see the full width of the tire if you could post them.

I have a 2015 Silverado and looking to put the Nitto G2s 305/55/20 on it. My question has to do with the tire pressure sensors and the vehicle diagnostics with OnStar. If I run around 10 lbs or pressure higher will it make any sort of tire light come in or show an error with OnStar diagnostics?

No you won't have an issue. I am running 42psi in my 35" tires and everything reports as normal.

Well, here's the low angle front, anyway:

Is a BFG KO A/T 285/65r20 to much for stock all terrain rims? Looks to be about 34"x11" so guessing I will have rubbing if stock height? Found a good deal on a set and hoping they will work

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      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.
