Thinking I'd like to upgrade my tires.  I've always ran the Ridge Grapplers and would like to throw them on my new truck.  I've read where guys are running 35x12.5x20 at stock height with no issues, but I'm not sure I'd like to go that big....anyone running something in between stock and a 35" tire that they have been happy with.  I may just throw the stock size on, but would like to hear what others have done size wise.  As of now she's just a grocery getter, so no plan to lift/level, just like the look of a little more aggressive tire.

I think the stock tires are something like 34x11R20, so going up to 35s isn't that big of a leap diameter-wise. 

 

I have 295/65R20 ordered in Toyo AT3, which are about 35x11.5R20. Unfortunately, they are backordered so I can't report how well they fit. I'm not anticipating any issues though.

Nice, that's kinda what I thought as well.  I don't see why a 35 wouldn't work, obviously with different offset wheels I'm sure you could run into issues.  I may just stay with a stock size, without a level or lift I don't think the size is awful, but wanted to look at a couple different sizes as sometimes pricing will be better on a random size

I am running 35x11.5x20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers  just slightly taller and wider than stock. Think it brought my ride height up about half inch. No real noticeable loss of power or acceleration.  Gas millage never really payed attention. 

 

But there is plenty of room no rub lock to lock.

This is a pretty cool web site that let's you visualize the relative sizes of two different tires. 

 

Doesn't help with the "will it fit" question, but it does show you both the dimensions and a side by side image. 

 

Tire Comparison

 

Edit:  Actually it might help with "will it fit" if you use the offset calculator on that site.   It will show the changes in sidewall and running surface locations of stock vs new size.

stock is almost 34 i believe.......plenty of room, plus torsion bars can be turned up a bit without much difference in ride if necessary.......when stock ones wear out ill upgrade, no sense in throwin away perfectly good set of sneakers and stock michelins are actually really good tire......dry/rain they are awesome, no snow where i live

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging.

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
