I am thinking about putting 285/75/r16 on my half ton 2000 Silverado.

I do not want to put a lift on it, I have cranked up the torsion bars and I hope the tires will fit.

 

Does anyone have 285's on their truck, know where there are pictures of such. I want to see them

Thanks!

Anyone know of a website where I can look at pictures of trucks?

I'm interested too!!! I'm surprised with all of the guys running 285's that nobody's spoken up yet! try and mess around on Google and see if you can find anything

285/75/16 Nitto Terragrapplers on factory rims. '02 Silverado (no trimming required).

Same tires, same truck, aftermarket rims (different offset that required trimming a bit off the air dam).

A bunch of you folks are putting her down for her looks :rolleyes: Now, I'm the first to admit I've never been in a Hooters, nor as far as I can see will I ever go into one. I'm 68, and I just don't see that happening, in this lifetime anyway. Hooters = female exploitation = not my thing. That's my opinion, don't expect everyone will agree with me, but my opinion anyway, and I'm stickin' to it.

 

But, the real reason for this post is, again, IMO, she's a good lookin' young lady. Look at her eyes, their gorgeous. Maybe that isn't the part of the anatomy you guys are lookin' at, but, again IMO, those aren't too bad either.

I don't know maybe it is the expression she is wearing that makes her look like an alien, I don't know, but I do know whoever decided to use that particular photo instead of another one did it on purpose. I am sure the photographer had better pictures of her than the one taken, but obviously didn't get her "good side".

Do those of you with 285s on your truck notice any significant difference in power compared to when you at 265s or a smaller tire on your truck? Are there any differences that you noticed.... ride quality, gas mileage, etc..

My ride quality increased a little bit with the bigger tires. My front suspension is a little harsh since I leveled the front end out and the extra weight helped to slow the suspension down a little bit. I put my stock 265/75s back on in the winter and I can tell there is a little bit of a difference in response with the 285s on... it's not a lot but I can notice it - just have to use a little more gas to chirp the tires with the 285s, that's all. As far as gas mileage goes, I don't really track it - partly because I'm too lazy and partly because I don't really wanna know out of fear of what it would be... haha.

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.

      If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun!

      Scan Equipment for 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas

      By davester · Posted

      I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well.  Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit.  Remove and plug it in and it's good to go.  More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
