Default New shoes!

Switched out my Falken Wildpeak AT3 265/65/18 for Cooper Discoverer ATPs 275/65/18. I like them so far and look a little better. Next we see how they launch First picture is the Falkens and second is the Coopers.

They look good!

How quiet are they on the highway?

Not loud at all around town. However I have not been on the highway with them yet. Little smoother ride than the Falkens. Don't get me wrong the Falkens were great tires. I just wanted a little bit bigger tire and a different tread pattern to try at the track.

Were you able to get P rated so they don't weigh 6 tons each??

LOL I only say that because my truck didn't have a spare when I bought it so the dealer gave me a take off wheel that had an all terrain Cooper Tire on it and I looked it up and it weighed like 50 f**** pounds. The spare was retarded heavy. So I grabbed a little shitty car tire and threw it on the wheel to drop weight lol. I have bad *** towing so I probably will never need a spare and if so I just need one to get to the tow truck

Sadly, the P rated 20" tires I have are 40 lbs each :/

Here are the Falkens specs. 47lbs each.

What the truck came with. 35lbs.

One positive though the stock Z71 wheels weigh 32lbs each and my current wheels weigh 25lbs each

You have a decently light setup then (compared to OE 20's). I love the way my wheels look but I hate how heavy they are, my OEM 20's are something like 40-43 pounds and the tires are 40

Any way yours looks good man, and super cool that you dropped a couple pounds with the new tires too.

What wheels do you have again? I'll look them up in 20's and see what they weigh. So far I've only been able to find wheels in the upper 30's, unless they were 2k a piece..

I know this is a little off topic (considering it was an aesthetics post not a wheel weight post) but I've been looking for lighter options that are affordable.

Thanks man. I really liked the wheels and got lucky on how light they were.

Here are my wheels in 20s. 29lbs.

Damn I'll have to keep that in mind, 29 lbs for a 20" is great.
