I am the proud new owner of a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 and I am looking for any recommendations for more aggressive tires than the stock tires. The tires I am currently riding on are Goodyear Wrangler Trailrunner ATs. I have had no problems with the tires I have just saved some money from the summer and wanted to look around to see what else is out there. I worked on the farm all summer and plan on doing so when I get done with school this year as well. I also hunt a lot and want something that can travel through Mississippi mud in the winter. As far as hauling goes I would say I do not do it enough to really be too concerned with (most I pulled this summer was a water trailer that was around 6,000 lbs full) but not sure if there is a tire that would help/hurt in that regard. I am looking for something that handles well but is also comfortable on the road. I do not have a particular brand in mind but I am leaning towards more popular brands just because I tend to have more faith in a brand with a positive reputation. My price range is around $600-$700 for all 4 if all possible. I also should say I am not looking for a bigger tire necessarily just one with more aggressive treads. I would really appreciate pictures if anyone is interested in posting what they are riding on as well. This is my first time posting on a forum so if there is any more information I need to add or a better please I should post this feel free to let me know. This is my first Silverado and I am glad to be part of the Chevy family. Thanks for any help!

Your price range is too low, you're not going to find anything that cheap and that are good at the same time.

 

Most tires are going to cost $180-220 a pop, so think $800-900 at a minimum.

 

Firestone Transforce AT's

Nitto Terra Grapplers

Goodyear Duratracs

General Grabbers

Falken Wildpeaks

 

All those come to mind as a more aggressive tire.

Sounds good my price range is more for right now but I would rather have quality over price so I do not mind waiting and saving a couple of months for some down the road that I know will be good. Thanks for the suggestions I will check them out.

Check with the local tire shops to see if they’ll buy your stock tires. A tire shop gave me $400 for my stock 265/65/18 Goodyears with 3-4,000 miles on them. I would have let him have them for half that since I hated them. Lol

put toyo at 3s on mine love them a little softer then bfgs but side by side the same

I second the AT3's.  I love BFG K02's but I think the AT3's are just as good so far, quieter and lighter.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
