Just replaced my OEM 275/60/20 Goodyear Trailrunner ATs on my 2019 RST Z71. Got 6 years out of these things and 40K miles of good performance. With the snow storm hitting in DFW, I figured it was time to replace them... esp. since every time the roads were wet, I had to run in 4A. 😂 

 

Put on some Nitto Terra Grappler G3s, same OEM size - 275/60/20. I'll post some pics soon. 3-peak rated and man they ride just as quiet as the Trailrunners did. But serious bit on the snowy/icy roads around DFW the past few days! 

 

Considered doing 285s, but I didn't want to pay about $80 more per tire just for an extra 10mm of height.

285 is the WIDTH, not the height. 60 is the percent of the width that the sidewall height is. 20 is the rim diameter.

Yes, I understand tire sizes. I meant going up to 285/65/20s.

You mentioned NOTHING about going from a 60 to a 65, only 275 to 285.

In case anyone else is wondering if 285/65/20’s would fit a stock truck with no lift. They do.

Nice! What price per tire did you have to pay for those? 
 

When I looked at 285 vs 275 the price was about $80 more per tire for the 285 set up. 🫠

I wanted those OEM wheels, so I found a lightly used set with those tires for $2k CAD but tires are definately pricey.

 

Also have noticed my fuel economy has gone down quite a bit from ~9L/100km to ~11L/100Km. But with these tires my speedo is also off which will also throw off the fuel economy calculations.

To clarify. As I see the z71 badge, was your truck lifted prior meaning this is 6" total lift or 4" from a non lifted? 

 

I ask because you ran the ready lift 2" previously I believe and liked the look of that

Hey Russ!

My truck is a Trail Boss so it comes with a 2' lift from the factory. So when I added the 4' BDS kit, which is for Trail Boss and AT4 only, it raised it 4' on top of the 2' factory lift. So compared to a non Trailboss, its a 6' lift.

 

Correct I did have the ready lift 2' sst kit before to fit 35's. I went to the BDS kit so I could add 37's.

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
