Stock suspension?

Rubbing?

2.5 level and only rubs on my mud flaps in full lock in reverse but it's not a big worry for me other that that minor rub no issues and looks good.. Won't rub once I got 4. 5 inch suspension lift lol [emoji123] cbd7abcd6bd0d15164edc6e9782f9282.jpg

285/65 R18 Installed on my 15" Silverado with R/C Leveling kit.

No Rubbing/

Quiet on the highway

I got the KO2's and would highly recommend!

I am looking to replace my stock SRA's but was leaning towards a p tire instead of LT due to the weight. I don't tow or haul anything heavy so I don't need a E rated tire but I have been looking at 285/65r18 or 275/65r18 and 285's only come in E ratings. My question is how is the ride and how do they affect fuel mileage running the wider and heavier 285's?

I just took off and sold new Nitto Trail Grapplers in 285/65/18's. Looked bad ass, not too loud. But the handling went out window and ride was horrible.

Now I'm running Cooper AT3's. Although not as mean and sexy as the Nittos the Coopers ride and handle great. It could be a little higher side wall( 275/70's). My tires are LT tires but literally can't tell the difference in loss of power at all but MPG took about a 2mPG hit. But I also haven't recalibrated the computer yet either.

I have some pics in my build thread. That was the first thing I did (don't have them anymore).

 

Edit: Here are the pics. (275/65/18 Cooper Discoverer ATP)

Any issues on the rim flange of this stock wheels? It has a 265/65/18 tire right?  Before upgrading to 275? Just curious on the 10mm difference on width. Upgrading my truck soon

I just got 275/65R18 Duratracs. No rubbing that I've noticed yet, but it's only been a day. In the Duratrac thread they said that they don't rub on stock suspension.

Any problems with the rim flange on the stock wheels? 10mm difference wouldn't hurt it? 265 to 275. Will upgrade my tires but will retain my stock wheels. Just need some input.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
