Offroad/onroad Wheel and Tire Recommendation 2020 GMC Sierra SLT 6.2L Crew Cab

[Dominick S]

Hello,

 

I recently purchased a used 2020 GMC Sierra SLT 6.2L Crew Cab. I was looking to upgrade the wheels and tires. I spend a fair amount of time driving in the national forest roads in Colorado. I was hoping to get some recommendations for a decently priced wheel and tire combo that can handle rough terrain but won't be terrible for highway driving. I intend to lift the truck about 2-3 inches and upgrade the suspension at a slightly later point in time. If anyone would like to give me some advice or recommendations it would be appreciated. Thank you.

I've had my Toyo Open Country R/T for over four years and they are a great all around tire. I also go up Mountain roads here in WA. https://realtruck.com/p/toyo-open-country-r-t-tires/

I've run the stock 18s with Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs from California to Florida.  They're not perfect, but they get the job done.  After I leveled my truck 2"/1" I upgraded the size to 285/75r18 and I'm very happy with it.

I just installed the new Nitto Terra Grappler G3s.  I love them.  Very smooth. Very quiet.  And just aggressive enough looking.  They come in larger sizes in p ratings too.  I installed 34s (p275/65r20) and didnt really take a hit in MPG since they only 47lbs compared to my old 33" BFGs that were 56 lbs.

Different strokes for different folks.  I enjoy the stiffer sidewall of the tire.  Also the lightest tire in its size per the data I looked at on tirerack.com.  What I run isn't going to be for everybody.  I just thought I'd share my opinion.  You're more than welcome to take my truck for a spin.  I'm literally right down the road from some offroading.
