Here's mine...275/60r20 on stock suspension. I love these tires and they are wearing great! I've got 35,000+ miles on this set and they still have 10-11/32 tread depth left. Hoping to get around 60,0

Bigger is better what is there to look at? The tire shop should let you put the tires side by side next to your truck, or even mount them both up for you to see

My truck has 275-60-20 BFG KO2s on it.

Sweet looking ride man!

What's the offset and width of your wheels? Any lift/level/torsion bar crank? Any rubbing? I have a black 2500 Denli and I was looking at a similar look. It's my first 2500 and my first Denali AND only 2 weeks old so I'm still scared to touch it/mess anything up on it by modifying anything lol would def love a stock quality ride minimal addition to height (if any at all) and some aggressive looking tires/wheels.

The wheels are 20x9 +20 offset. No rubbing at all. I'm actually gonna get a wider tire here pretty soon, thinking 295 55. It's just a 2" level up front, no rear blocks. Ya I love the lifted truck look but I felt the same way I didn't wanna get too crazy with my new truck and I like the smooth ride. I'm prob gonna trade up to a 2500 here soon.

I don't know how long you have had these tires on but do you have any reports on ride quality and fuel economy?

 

Thanks

 

I have 19000 miles right now on my truck, I put them on at 6500 miles. I LOVE these tires. Ride quality is better than stock, I only say that because I put Bilstein 5100s on the truck to give me the 2" level lift. When I did that is when I put the new tires and wheels on. The bilsteins and tires are way better than the stock Rancho with ride quality and handling. I lost about 2 mpg around town but also because I lifted the truck. I can only get about 19-20 on freeway where I use to get 22 ish.

 

we had a huge snow storm this winter in oregon, We had over 8 inches of snow and these were exceptional. It went through it like nothing. I will not buy another tire after experiencing these.

Have any of you guys had any problems with your steering wheel making a "clunking, popping or ticking" sound when turning the wheel with these bigger tires? Usually when going slow like leaving a parking spot or making a slow turn? I have 305/50/20's and my electric steering unit has been replaced once already and now I'm getting the same sounds again. Dealer said the first time they thought it was because of the "oversized tires" but went ahead and replaced it anyway. He said if it happens again, might not be able to do it. I then pointed out two lifted Sierras on the lot with 35's on them from a company that lifts and upgrades the trucks and asked him won't those tires cause that also? Of course, no answer. Just curious though to see if you guys are experiencing this too. There was a thread on here somewhere where someone posted a bulletin noting that some 2014-15 Sierras were known for having bad steering unit bearings? Can't find it though.

Is this with a 2" in the front only?

 

 

Yep! Bilstein 5100 shocks give you 2" of lift even though it advertises only 1.8" Nothing done with back except changing to bilstein rear shocks (no lift).

      Researching best tires for 2 wheel, rear wheel drive
      By Cheladamama
      I currently am driving on 265/70R16 on my '04 Silverado reg cab 4x2. I live in WI. What size tires should I look for and can I put 17 in wheels on it? I can't afford new tires and 17 in ones are much easier to find. I have found some tire/rim combos reasonably priced but all are 17's. I am looking to get info on what size tire would be best. If I stay with 16's should I get narrower tires? Driving in snow is a major consideration. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

      275/60r20 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT
      By JLock
      I have a stock 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 slt preferred package. Time to get new tires and the Mickey Thompson Baja boss at’s look promising. Can anybody tell me if the 275/60 will fit without a level and and real world reviews on these tires (particularly road noise)? It shows that they measure at a 33.4 which is a little bigger than other 275/60s. Pics also appreciated

      P-metric vs LT tires
      By BossTaco2020
      This is more of a general question rather than specific to these trucks. But my 2020 TrailBoss came with LT275/65 R18 GoodYear DuraTrac tires. I'm considering going to some Bridgestone Dueler Revo AT/3 tires. Costco has the LT rated tires for about $20 more per tire than the P-metric tires. My truck is my daily driver, grocery-getter, school bus, and maybe once a month, I go offroad to my mountain cabin. The most I haul is a couple kayaks to the lake every now and then and occasionally yard waste to the city dump. So considering 99.9% of my driving is in the city/highway and I don't tow anything, would it still make sense to go with the LT tires?

      High Mileage Tires??
      By shimmy
      I've been a big fan of Michelin tires in the past but the LTX A/T's that are on my 2020 2500HD are a bit disappointing.  I've done some towing with a 8k pound trailer, a bunch of highway, and the rest of local driving and at 28,000 miles, these tires are looking that they need to be replaced.
      Can you suggest a mostly highway tire that can get me 40,000 miles??  I'm looking for an all season tire that is acceptable in snow, but that's not my major concern.  I'm running the stock 275-70-18's
       
      Thanks in advance.

      Lift NOT Level plus bigger tires
      By FauxCE
      Does anyone know of a kit that will let me lift my truck WITHOUT leveling it? I mostly drive down the highway so I'm not interested in levelling the truck and sending my MPG down the gutter even worse than it already is (I average 16-17 with stock suspension, 275/55/R20 Cooper Discoverer SRX, KN washable engine air filter) but when I go hunting I will sometimes need to cross fallen trees or go over shrubbery that loves to get caught up in the undercarriage. I'm trying to leave the stock rake on the truck but gain an additional inch or two clearance. All the kits I see for lifting the truck also level it. Am I going to have to do the math myself and grab X front suspension kit and Y rear block kit so that both raise approximately the same distance?
       
      Also, if I'm able to get an extra inch of height I wonder what size tire I'd be able to fit then. I like the BFG K02s but wonder if I'd be able to squeeze the 275/65s to fit without cutting or even the 285/65s (only difference between the two is an additional 1/2 inch in diameter).
