Good afternoon, I'm looking at a new set of rubber for the 1500 and i was wondering if anyone has ran a 275/70/18 with stock set up. Leveling kit is in the near future but tires come first. roughly a 33.2" tire. If so any rub? Second question does anyone have any experience with Fallken wildpeak at3 All reviews I have read they seem to be a very well performing tire at there price point.

I don't have that exact size. I run 285/70/17. Love this size cause of the extra rubber. I have a 3.5 lift and have a little bit of rub on 2015 1500. I am also running the falKen wildpeak at3 atw. I love these tires. Great in the rain, only a little bit of dirt use but hooks good. Trying them in the snow this weekend but they should be great since they are also rated as a snow tire. I'll update on performance after this weekend

Yes 275/70/18's fit on STOCK wheels. Aftermarket?

 

Multiple members have verified that this does work with stock wheels. I'll be doing the same before I get new coilovers.

How do you possibly have rub with a lift like that? Your tires are under 33"

Awesome thank you, it looks good just a little more rubber than stock. Mileage probably didn't see too much of a drop with only 33's?

Considering they will most likely be a load range E you can expect a couple mpg hit, they are much heavier than stock; especially in a much more aggressive hybrid type tire.

 

Take what some say with a grain of salt when they say no issues, those tires are almost 2 inches taller and a quarter inch wider. Those no rubbings are probably on flatter roads, turning on a steeper hill with a larger bump or off highway it is hard to imagine no rub with no lift...

 

They do look good though!

I've been looking for something to give me a little more power(tuner) just not sure what to get. I have an Airaide MIT, AEM dryfilter, removed the front lower airdam. MPGs were great before all this. On a 50 mile stretch from Austin to Dallas I was getting 24.3MPG according to my truck. That's before I did everything to it. MPGs have taken a hit. I do a lot of HWY driving. On avg I would get 19.5 after everything and now with the tires im at about 17-17.5. I do drive like a grandpa, but still lack throttle response. 8031d196e95fae65a858b5043e61ce8a.jpg

BlackBear tune will do you good.

 

I am curious if you ever flex your suspension and see any rubbing.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      OCI, not when but why?

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
