These are General Grabber ATx 285 60 20 on the factory 20" wheels. I had them painted black by a professional shop.

Factory 20" wheels with stock size aftermarket Cooper AT3 4s ....No lift or level.  It's a P rated tire, which rides well, but rated as a heavy duty with a max 50psi rating.

Thanks for posting this. Looks like we have the same truck and wheels. The tires are just on the edge of being ok for me. I have the goodyears. I’d like to swap out for a factory size terra grappler g2 but not sure if it would make enough of a visual difference for me to pull the trigger.

I'm not certain anybody would consider a P (i.e., passenger car) rated tire such as the Cooper Discoverer a more "aggressive" tire.  It's exactly the opposite of an aggressive tire.

It does say please show me you aftermarket tire. Pretty sure the cooper is aftermarket. I do get that it is not more aggressive.

Not more aggressive than what? these are plenty aggressive for driving off-road, in snow, etc. Yet not so obnoxious that they make excess noise or kill your MPGs. For anyone who is more concerned with performance On & Off the road than they are with looks, these tires are perfect.

 

Compare with the crap they put on your truck at the factory.

 

If you are solely looking for the most obscenely large lugs you can find, or you are actually planing to do rock crawling, then look elsewhere.

Get the Nitto’s they will last a long time it’s one of the best in the rain and off road it will actually work. It’s not crazy loud on the road and they come In more sizes the most other brands. It’s down to Nitto and the big brother named Toyo for truck tires that work On and off road.

I'm not certain what tires came as OEM with your truck but I got the DuraTrac's and am thrilled with them.  I've never run anything but BFG AT for the past 25+ years.  I've bought over 24 sets of BFG's over the years and my subjective analysis has always found them to be the best dual purpose tire on the market.  I didn't think I'd like the DuraTrac's but they are an absolutely fantastic tire.  I never thought I'd switch from BFG but for my usage the DuraTrac are a much better tire.  In sloppy, muddy conditions the BFG's ball up as soon as they touch mud.  They also hydroplane with alarming frequency.  The DuraTrac's perform MUCH. MUCH, MUCH better in mud and off roading in general and I'm amazed at how they handle standing water.

 

I think your statement regarding "the crap they put on at the factory" is unfounded specific to the DuraTrac's.  They're a great tire.

You are right. I along with many others were graced with the lovely goodyear SRA's when I bought my off-road capable Z-71. I wouldn't buy those tires for a passenger car, much less for a pickup truck.

 

Duratracs are a completely different ballgame.

How do you like these tires so far? Considering replacing mine with the same.

Kind of hard to follow advice from someone who holds the vanity driven BFG's as the best dual purpose AT tires... You do realize the P part is the rating and not the traction or looks of the tread right? A P rated tire can look the same and perform the same traction as an E rated tires, just not the load hauling part. 

 

BTW, many reviews across many forums and tests don't rate the duratrac highly, especially the durability off road. Most complaints arrange around the lack of tread wear, noise after a ten thousandish miles and the sidewalls being soft and susceptible to cuts off road. Their traction is great, but many other areas are lacking. Most switch to Ridge Grapplers, which seem to the new standard of the hybrid tires (inbetween an AT and MT which is what the Duratrac falls in to as well).

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
