show me your tires!
The time is coming to get new tires for my 05 Z71. i want to ditch the factory 17's for some 16" wheels and a little bit wider tire. I need a stiffer sidewall tire for towing, more like the 2500HD load rated tires because i hate mushy steering and swaying from these paper thin bridgestones it has now. I dont know what size i should go with, or rim backspacing. If some of you could help me out with some pictures and posting your tire size and what aftermarket wheels, backspace ect you have. I might keep a 17" on if i can find the right look, but theyre pricey.

Mine is only the most common on/off road tire out there. ;)
I have BFG T/A ko's on the Silverado. Long trails on the Blazer. They will soon be Goodyear Fortera TTs. |
I've been working on my truck for a little over a month now, but once it's finished it will be sitting on 37" BFG Baja Project T/A's. :D:D:D

Evansblue,
How do you lik the KO's on your Silverado? How do they wear? How well do they handle? Would you recommend them? I have been planning to buy a set of KO's, but I kinda like the new Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac as well. At least, I like the looks of them. |
Well shoot...Let's try this a different way.

the 4.5" backspace looks pretty good, thats about what im looking for. the stock wheels just look stuffed too far under.

I've got a set of 295/75/R16 Buckshot Maxxis Mudders on the factory rims with factory suspension on my 04 2500HD and have no problem towing a heavy load with them on there. In fact pulled a 5th wheel with two CAT skid steers and various attachments for them from here in Ohio to Indianapolis the other day for some work.
