I have the 2008 Silverado Ext.Cab NBS 2500HD, and its a rough ride when i go off-road or on one of those very old streets downtown.

I'm looking for the smoothest tires possible thats fits on my (17") factory wheels. (already changed the shocks) i use my truck almost evenly on and off road.

Friends suggested the all All-Terrain T/AŽ KO, i like the big size and the look of them but im not sure about the smoothness and how loud they sound.

i prefer bigger size tires to fill up the empty space below the fenders, but its really hard to find that tire which would not rub with non-lifted truck.

Your suggestion and time is appreciated

Thanks in advance.

 

Well I have an 04 2500HD with 285/75/16 Buckshot Maxxis Mudder's under it with no lift; but to me, a good ole farm boy, the ride doesn't matter that much to me. Although surprisingly the ride isn't as hateful as I thought they would be, the rough ride I think comes more from the fact that I cranked the torsion bars on mine and basically took the front suspension out from under it.

 

alot of guys on here will back up the t/a kos. they are obviously an all terrain tire. and heard they are pretty quiet. maxxman04 swears by these tires. he runs them on all his rigs. i would suggest to talk to him about these tires.

 

BFG all terrains aint bad. I'm runnign 285/75R16 on the rear. Their a pretty soft tire IMO. But I went from 245/75R16, and those were towing tires, real rough. BFGs last forever.

 

actually bfgs only last about 50,000 miles lol

 

Hey... I'm the smarta$$ here... not you... LOL
I think 50,000miles is a lot for a All Terrian.

 

lol. that was pretty good you gotta admit. 50,000 is alot for an all terrain compared to the pro comp extreme at's im going to put on soon they last 40,000.

 

the BFG all terrain is the way to go for a bigger look with the smoother ride

 

I('ve got 48K on my Buckshot Mudders and they still have quite a bit of tread on them left

 

It looks like BFGoodRich All-Terrain T/AŽ KO is the way to go.



Thank you all for participating.
