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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
