The rim offset for 1997 Chev 2500 2WD (16 inch 6-bolt) is different from standard steel 4x4 rims. The standard 2WD rims are scarce and nearly impossible to find in my area. Tires are LT225/75R16. What is the impact of mounting winter tires on 4x4 rims for the back of the 2WD pickup? Would this affect handling or suspension of the truck?

I live in the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

Hottest economic growth in western Canada.

And despite all efforts of GLOBAL WARMING ... our residential streets are still covered with packed snow and ice, and there is two feet of snow on the front lawn. Main streets are clear and the rest is melting as our days are above freezing now ... I won't be putting these snow/winter tires on this year, but I want to be ready for next fall. My 4 new TOYO All Terrain tires were pretty good in the snow but not good enough by my standards on ice. Next year I want a good open grip studded snow tire to push my 2WD around in the winter time.

 

 

i have a question. why do you need winter tires? and where do you live?

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
