08 Sierra with 2.5" level.

Last time i went with 275/60r20 (33") Cooper Zeon LTZ's. I have loved them. Will probably go with them again. i got over 40k and still have a few k more.

But im just wondering if anyone is running anything similar. It is so difficult to find a 20" rim tire that is 33" and 10-11" widths.

In all seriousness though, I drive a 2wd GMC Envoy on Firestone Destination A/Ts so I don't have a ton of opinion.

But I had some 31" Bridgestone Duelers on my old Explorer that looked sweet and lasted a while. My brother is on 33" BFG A/Ts and they'll probably last him 4-5 years. Those things have TONS of tread.

Oh, and get white letters out. Black walls blow.

Stop reminding me that I'll need to drop 700-800 bones on tires soon.

So, you won't even get 50K on them?? Heavy foot?

Every set of tires I've owned, I've got at least 70K, and a few times over 80K.

Last set of A/T I bought were the Hankook Dynapro ATM. Reviews say they are the best A/T tire in wet sand, which they also state as being the truest test of an A/T tire.

I have a similar setup on my 2010 Sierra and bought the LT295/55R20, Nitto Trail Grapplers and so far they have been great.

A little noisy once you break them in.
