Best tire/size for 2” leveling kit?

[Ctmath]

Hello all, 

I’m looking to replace / upgrade tires on my ‘14 Silverado 4dr 4x4. It has 2” level kit with stock 18” wheels currently. I’d like to see what sizes will fit comfortably with this current setup. I will most likely be keeping the stock wheels, but I want a more aggressive tire that performs well on/off road. Mostly paved road driving, but I want it to preform well in snow & mud. I was looking at the offerings from Nitto, but unsure of size to go with. 

Thanks!

Honestly ‘best’ tire size is totally up to what you want and more importantly how you use your truck. 

 

I have 5100’s set at third highest (1.5”)  and right now my shoes are 275/70 18 on stock wheels. St/Maxx e rated. That’s about 33.3” tire. 

 

I do go offroad on two track BLM and gas and oil row’s a lot for hunting. A lot of of rutty, rocky and nasty shit, especially this year. 33” works fine for me, doesn’t rub on articulation or full lock. Any higher lift and tire simply makes it tougher for my bird dogs to load up after an exhausting day, or would a pita for me to unload hunting and camping shit. 

 

It’s a good compromise size for winter snow and off road muck. 

 

It really depends on you and what you need (or want).
