So I am going to be putting some new Method Mesh 20x9 on my truck, which are +18 offset and I want to get some new, more aggressive looking wheels to go with them. I am thinking of going to 275/60/20 size, but what brands/models do you guys recommend? I kind of like the BFG KO2 and the Nitto TG2, but I would like to keep the quite ride I have.

Cant speak aboutthe bfgs, but my Nitto g2 terra graps are awesome so far. I wouldve looked at bfg but they dont make 33" tires for a 22" wheel

Not to try and make your selection even harder but also hear good things about hankook dynapro atms. Look into them. They are cheaper cost but get rave reviews on all of the tire website reviews ive read. It was gonna be my next option if i couldnt get my graps for the price i did. The cooper ATs get good reviews as well

How's the sound and gas mileage on your grapplers? I love the way the sidewall on those look

Sound is just a hair louder than the stock crap-years, but again it is an AT vs street tire. These trucks are insulated so well its negligible really. All ATs are gonna be at least a lil louder. Mileage- seems like i dropped 1-2mpg but thats with the new 22" wheela as well. I believe my exact tire weighs 46lbs

Do you have a level? What about 305/55-20's?

I plan on getting the 2.25" level from ReadyLift, but I don't want to end up rubbing

How is the ride and sound?

Sound is not bad at all. Of course they are louder than a street tire, but not something that my wife has even noticed.

 

They ride better than the Pirelli scorpions that I had on there before.

 

I'm really happy with this tire!

I put 275/60/20 Cooper Discoverer ATP on Friday. The ATP is just a slight different tread than the AT3, supposedly the ATP is made exclusively for Discount Tire. If you don't need a super aggressive tire, I think its tough to find a better tire than the ATP. 55k warranty, great look, and even better price. They even gave me $75 a tire for my junk Wrangler RSA's. I don't have a level kit yet, and I just barely rub when at full lock, after a level kit I will have 0 problems.

How come there's no recommendations for anything from Toyo? I like the face that a 275-60-20 tips the scale at 43 lbs. So you can have an upgraded size for only 4 lbs over stock.

I am about to put some Hercules tires up on mine. Made by Cooper tires and local here to me in MN. Handful of Silveraydo folks here have had awesome luck with these for all season and the winters we experience. Price is hella good too. Under $180 per tire. Also Hercules has free road hazard coverage with the tires. Worth a look for all you tire nuts.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
