As the title states I am putting some new tires on the truck.  Right now I have the 275/60/20 Bridgestone Alenza. 

 

I have pretty much decided on the Goodyear Ultraterrain.  We like to wheel on OBX and head to the mountains in the winter so these seem like a great option imo.

 

My question I have stock suspension.  I originally wanted to go with a 285/65/20 to give it a beefier look.  Then I started looking at going with the stock size but noticed it was an SL rated.

 

As someone who will be towing in the future should I go with the larger tire size in the E load or will I be fine with an SL?

 

Thanks for the help.

You will be fine with the SL, just check that the tire's load rating meets your needs.  E would be necessary on 2500s and 3500s.

 

I recommend you check out the Falken Wildpeak AT3W.  These are great tires.

Wouldn't the 285/65 rub on stock suspension ? Nice tire size though . Post pics!

If you wheel, I would step up in rating in the stock size. Plenty of people run C range tires with good results. I run E and haven't had a flat in 120,000 miles so I'll be sticking with them.....

I replaced my alenza's with the 275/60/20 Ultraterrains and I love them!  You might have rubbing issues with the 285/65/20 with no level or lift. Here is a photo of mine.

Ken....your truck looks great.  What lift/level kit do you have?

Thank you.  I have the GM AT4 lift.  I also added the Zone 1.75 level kit and UCAs to be safe.  I think this photo is before I added the level though.

Ken, the truck looks great. As for the topic here, I have the stock Goodyear Duratracs on my truck with 11,000 miles on them and they have been great. Off road they perform and on road they only whine a little. I couldn't be happier even if they are the stock tire. As for the tire width, you really do need to check max turn on the wheel wells...

Thanks everyone.  Decided not to go with a 285.  My choices are 275/60 in SL or 275/65 in E with the Ultraterrain.  Leaning towards the 75 since it will be a bit taller and tougher tire.  I've never had anything other than LT tires on my trucks so to me the SL's are a bit mushy. 

 

Discount Tire tells me the 275/65/20 will fit no problem.  I agree.  Anyone have any experience?

I have the 275/65/20 Ultra terrains on a 2019 Silverado with a front level only. They fit great and do not rub at all and I have 10000 on them so far and they are wearing great.

you figure they would fit without a level?  Seems to be a lot of wheel well left to fill on these trucks.

They are a full 1" taller. I am not sure if that would fit or not, sorry.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      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.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
