I am looking at getting a set pretty soon and was wanting to see some pics on some trucks. Any comments on performance and driveability is appreciated. Thanks

 

I had them on my last truck, although they were 285/75/16s but they were great tires. Rode good and handled very well in the rain and snow. One thing I did notice was a big drop in mpg but that was mainly due to their weight from being a Load E range tire and weighed probably twice as much as my weak stockers.

 

How big of a drop in mileage did you see? I was considering these for my rig also.

 

Going from stock firestone 265s to the 285s I saw a solid 2 mpg loss and yes I had the speedo re-calibrated with the TSP tune.

 

I have them. I like them alot. I went from my stock 245 to the 295 so it was a nice upgrade.


I'll try and get some pics I have them some where.

 

Wow, 2mpg drop is significant... Already gettin pretty bad mileage in the Tahoe as it is... Doesn't have a lift, and I'm not so sure bout the torsion adjustment on the front, not sure if I want to go slightly bigger or not. I can get Terra Grapplers 265/70/17's (stock size) for about $125 a piece, vs the BFgoodrich AT's @ $200/each. I've always been a fan of the KO's, but price is a little steep for a stock-sized tire. Any other opinions on these tires?

 

What is the load range on the 265/70/17s? If they are the same as stock I'm sure you'll be fine.

 

I have a 04 crew cab z with those tires on a 17x9 rim and i like them. they did drop the mileage down like 2 or 3 miles but they handle good in the rain and mud. I did have to put torsion keys on it though. i'll try to get some pics

 

Give yoko geolander at +2's a try Ive never had a problem out of them!

 

If you go on gmfullsize.com Phil has some on his 2 door tahoe
