The largest size i can fit on my 2008 Sierra with a 2.5 Leveling kit is 275/60/R20 (33"). This is a weird size, so brands are few and far between. It came down to the Coopers and the Nitto Terra's but i think i will go with the coopers because of price.

The cheapest i have found online is at Discount Tire Direct 206/tire +25.75(warranty)= 927 (shipped). The only place i have found i can get them in BR is Sears 257/tire = 1095 mounted.

I have a guy in shreveport that will mount them for basically nothing but it iwll take me a few weeks before i can get up there. Does anyone know a place i could get these mounted, out the door in BR next week that will beat Sears?

There was a guy on here a while ago that had a tire place but our convo got deleted. carramrod.u91@gmail.com

what you get the 275/65/20? you have to trim for those to fit.

And where did you go?

I went to the place by the old mall and was out the door for like 980 bucks. I went with 305/60/20 I think and I didnt trim anything.

You running 34.5s on stock suspension + 2.5 level w/o trimming? you might need to check that, everything i have read on GM forums that will not work.

Winmill Tire in New Iberia beats anyone prices based on my experience just as an fyi you may want to try. I have been VERY pleased with my Nitto.

You sure you can't fit a 33x12.5r20 or 285/55r20 on there? A 275 is a skinny tire for a 33" IMO

OP....I looked at exact same 2 pairs of tires for my F150. 2" leveling kit. I have 20" rims too. The Coopers were just too skinny in the long run for me....a tad taller but still looks like stock tires.

I went with the 305/55/20 Nitto A/T's and love them! Filled out the fender well nicely.

about 3/8" narrower than 285s, hardly noticeable.

a stock 4x4 GM/Chevy will easily fit a 33x11 tire.

Yea bigger sized tire prices have skyrocketed, especially for 20"+ wheels.

Can't blame you. I was gonna get 33x12.5r17 on my F150 with a 3" leveling kit, but after pricing them the 285/65r17 Firestone destination ATs are too much cheaper to pass up. frick a $1200 set of tires in 17's
