Leveled 2015 4x4 Z71. Gonna be buying sooner than expected. 275/60r20 or 305/55r20. Leaning toward the latter b/c more meat on the road. Pros and cons of each would be appreciated.

Dude super clean truck. looking at your truck makes me think I should have put the white letters out. I got my lift done in your neck of the woods by the guys at Camburg

Thanks, I got a buddy that works at the burg.. Good dudes! You running their upper arm? I never see anyone rocking the white walls so that's why I did it.. I wish that bfg would make them with the red and blue like they do for our race tires

Tell us more about this size..... Do you think you could have gone one size larger, or is this the limit for a level? How is the front and rear view?....nice and beefy look? MPG loss? Road noise? OK, enough questions for now.

I've heard of people going as large as 295 with minor trimming but tire would rub at full turn. I decided to go with 285 so i wouldn't have any of those issues. You do get a bit of road noise but very minimal. I notice it around 80-90mph. It doesn't ride as nice as stock but it looks damn good! Here are a few more pics

I have run these tires on my 2500 HD for 6 months and 7,000 miles. These tires look awesome and perform really well on the highway, around town and off road (legit soft sand and dirt). I tow a 10,000 trailer once or twice a month and these tires can not handle it. After switching from a set of Michelin LTX's to these, the sway that was created by the KO's was unacceptable. Even worse, after 7,000 miles, my tires are showing over 50% tread ware. A buddy of mine who had these tires on his 3500 HD and tows about as often as I do, only got 12,000 out of these tires. The guys a my local Discount Tire are telling that they are seeing the same thing, namely these tires can not handle the big trucks and they are wearing out fast.

 

If your kicking around town, these tires rock! If you hauling, they don't rock !

I'm wondering if anyone is seeing unusual wear on their front tires. I noticed today that the tread on the outside edges looks like it's wearing more than it should. I assume it's from turning since the back tires don't show this wear at all. I've only got like 4000 miles on mine with essentially no gravel.

 

Pretty much all the lugs on the outside edge of the tire show wear like this, while the ones in the center of the tire are fine. I'm running about 38 PSI in the tires.

I have almost 10k miles on my BFGs and I can't see any noticeable wear. I run my tire pressure at about 50 in front and 55 for the rears. I have about 4K miles of towing a 8k pound travel trailer on these tires too.

Try bumping your pressure up. When I put my 275/70R18 I emailed BFG for their recommended pressure and they replied with 48 psi.

What tire pressure is everyone running on 275/60/20?

I just got off the phone with BFG and they recommend 50 PSI.

 

On a side note, if my tires were wearing poorly because my tire shop underinflated them, is it possible take them back and ask for some sort of reimbursement? Or is it just all on me for not having them inflated properly?

I'm interested in knowing also, since I'm planning to buy the same tire and size. Gonna buy from Costco because of their warranty.

I bought my BFGs from Costco and at least at my local store they said there wasn't a wear warranty. It's been over six months so maybe I'm getting that mixed up but I buy a lot of tires from Costco and these were the first that they mentioned there wasn't the usual warranty.

 

Edit: I'm at Costco getting tires rotated on a different car and they said there's no mileage warranty.

From what I know, there is no mileage warranty on the KO2. I believe there's a wear warranty. But Costco does have a warranty against incidental damage to their tires subject to prorated credit being applied to purchase of the new tire.

FYI, I also called BFG to get the correct psi on my KO2s. They told me 50psi front and rear. My size is 285/55/r20

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
