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).

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
