After going back and forth between 295/70r18s and 275/70r18s I finally pulled the trigger and went with 295/70's in a Cooper AT3 XLT, happy with the decision.

275/70r18 BFG K02's on 1.75" spacers.  Slight rub on reverse at full turn, not enough to do anything about.

Looks nice!!! I ready to take my truck into my buddy’s shop and get some tires of same size put on. Reminds, I’ll have to do a before and after pic.

 

Any modifications like trimming or lift?

Had my friend mount some Toyo Open Country RTs 295/70/18s. They look great! Feels and sounds better than the stock Goodyear Duratracs.

Question about the tires…Are they noticeably taller than the stock Duratracs?  How’s the ride, any complaints?  I have an appointment to get the same thing installed tomorrow.  Beginning to have second thoughts about not going with a bigger size, but I’ve always had good luck with the KO2s.

I was able to fit 295/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the stock wheels. No rubbing what’s so over. They fit perfectly.

Don't know if you're still following this, but this looks great.  How is it with the Ridge Grapplers and the 295s on stock left and rims?  Any problems?  No rubbing, not even in reverse? It almost looks like it has been leveled.

Anyone had success with running a 295/70R18 with 18x9 0 offset wheels on stock suspension Trail Boss? Would prefer no rub, and I’m cool with doing mud flap mod/mild trimming. Thanks!

Yeah I ran the Method 309s 18x9 zero offset with Falken Wildpeaks 295/70/18 and all that was rubbing was the mudflap so I took it off. But now I have a level kit as well just to make it look even.

Put on Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 295/70R18 on the stock wheels the other day.  Look great and are really aggressive, which I like... Put they do rub just ever so slightly at full lock.  And that's leveled and with 1.25" spacers.

Since this thread is old any chance you can update how the noise level is? Especially if you can compare to the Duratracs.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
