Almost time for new tires


Recommended Posts

Posted

Truck is a 2014 Denali 6.2 with 3.42 gears. My off roading is mild.

 

On day one I had a local shop install Ready Lift 2.25" up front, 3" block in rear with 285/60/20 DuraTracs on stock rims. I've had some minor rubbing on UCAs since the beginning. Can't tell when driving but if you look at the UCAs it is obvious it is happening. Shop also had to pin fender liner back in one place

 

Have 55,000+ miles on the truck now and am close to needing new tires. I have really liked the DuraTracs though the Z71 suspension + level + 10 ply tires made the ride pretty rough which took some getting used to. But I'm not complaining about 55,000+ miles on a set of tires and could probably push them to 65,000 if I really wanted to

 

I'm considering two options on tires:

 

1) another set of DuraTracs in 285/60/20 (same size)

 

Or

 

2) BFG KO2 in 285/65/20. I've seen a few people claim little to no rub with this tire and size - more than one on this forum. I think I'd like the look of the extra height. I don't mind pinning the fender liner back as many places as necessary but don't want to trim anything. I don't want to go narrower than 285

 

Anyone have any insight? It seems the BFGs run a little narrow which is probably helping them fit for people that have tried it. Anyone used both DuraTracs and KO2s on the same truck able to comment on ride quality, wear etc?
