In the market for some new tires for my 2004 Tahoe. It currently has Bridgestone H/T Alenza in 275/55/20 but they are about ready to be replaced. I'd like to get something quiet but maybe hooks a little better. Was considering something wider like 305/50/20 but still a very mild tire like a Michelin LTX MS.

I don't know much about street tires I'm going to keep the LTZ 20s I have and I will tow once in awhile. Somebody help!

 

If you can get them still, the Nitto 420S are great tires.

 

I had actually been looking at those. I guess the street diesel truck guys really like the 420s.

Thinks it's worth getting the wider 305s? Or stick with the 275s?

 

I think they'd look kinda goofy on the stock size rims because they aren't very wide.

Having not looked at the tire sizes they sell them in, do they have a 285 or 295 size?

 

Yeah they do actually. Infact those 420s seem to come in nearly every size.

 

I'm running a 305/55/20 and needed to run a spacer in the back. Runs flush with the fender so it's not inset from the truck. Otherwise, no rubbing issues on the front and I'm running drop spindles.

 

Do you have any pictures?

 

Also what size spacer?

 

Went ahead and ordered some Nitto 420s in 285/50/20 to my nearest discount tire. $161 each seems ludicrously cheap. Everything else name brand was well over $200 and the 420s seem to have great reviews. I read the 420s are being replaced by a new improved 420v and that's why they are cheap. Works for me since I'm known to let the smoke out of my tires occasionally.

Hopefully get them mounted up this week and post some pictures as well as a mini review if anyone cares.

 

I think 1/2" and I used 2005 Excursion studs because they're a 1/2" longer and have the same knurl. I do have a set of 12mm spacers in the garage with 10 studs if you need 'em
