275/65R20 or 285/65/20 .... BF K02 or Goodyear Duratracs??

[latreille89]

Planning on sticking with the stock 20" wheels on my 2021 Silverado. Currently have the 275/60/20 stock rubber on it. I have Bilstein 5100s on order for the front to raise it up 2" and have 2" blocks ready to go in the rear as well. 

 

Just want some opinions if it's worth going up to a 35" or just stick with the 34" and opinions on the tires. I've run K02's on almost every truck I've had but only really because of the winter performance. I've got a separate set of rims and winters for this truck so winter performance isn't important anymore.  And yes, I can use a search function but it's so bloated with random results, I don't have a week to sort through it.

275/65/r20 Falken Wildpeaks. It will give you an extra inch and the Wildpeaks are quieter than than Ko2’s

I’d go with 285/65. With your 2 in shocks and positive offset I believe you should be ok.  Now as far as tire goes both are great performers. But man are the GYs loud. They hum like some MT tires.

Duratracs are not loud.

 

Duratracs look better than any other non M/T tire.

 

You do the math.

They look great i will give you that and perform great. 

But IMO they are very loud for an AT tire.  My brothers 2021 AT4 at 8k miles is super loud, so much so he is changing them out to TOYOs . . But that's just me/my opinion and everyone's noise levels are different.

Neither tire lol. I hate them both and the KO2's have sky rocketed in price over the last year.

 

Falkens or Toyo's get my vote.

I concur with the DuraTracs being loud. Have them now in my TrailBoss and at 27K miles I'm about ready to chuck them and buys something else. I still have plenty of tread left but the drone is unbearable. I rotate every oil change (~5K miles) and they're inflated correctly. Most of my driving is streets/highways with the occasional off-roading adventure. The DT's are fine offroad but so are a bunch of other tires that I've seen be mentioned that are quieter.

I guess I never heard anyone I know complain about the noise with these tires. I'll probably end up running KO2's, they run around the same price here as any other tire and I've always liked them. Is the size that's of concern. I think the 275/65 is the best route, rather not risk rubbing with the 285.

KO2's always did well for me.
