It's time to get some new tires for my truck. It's a 2016 GMC Sierra Z71. I'm throwing some Bilstein 5100s to level (or close) the truck out.

I have the stock tires on there now which are 275/55R20. I'm looking at the BFGoodrinch KO2s. Anyone have any idea how much tire I can get in there?

I have a 2010 Sierra and currently I have 305/55/R20 tires in my truck. They most likely will rub when you turn but a little trim of the inner fender will fix that.

I have a 2017 GMC 2500. Lifted the front approximately 1.5" and replaced the stock tires with 275/65r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. 20k miles and they have been great so far.

You think I'd have that issue with 295s?

MY 2014 2wd with a 2" level kit fits 275/60R20 is about all it can handle without rubbing. you may be able to go and inch up, but not wider, if you beat in the fenders a little where it would rub.

I had a 2011 with a 2.25” level and 275/60r20. I loved them. They filled it out great with no rubbing at all.

I’ve got a 15 Sierra Z71 with a level. 275/65R20 destination MT2s are what I’m running. The only time they rub is at 80-90% turn in reverse.

I have the same truck make and year model. Running the Goodyear KO2 all terrain P 285/55R20. An old friend of mine is a service manager at a Chevy dealership and gave me a great price and warned me to go any bigger than that or they would rub the wheel well in turns. It's not the space above the tire that is the problem, it is the space in front of and behind when thinking of getting a bigger tire.

I have a little lift kit on front end and those tires make it pop. They also work good in the mud, which is why I got them. Our deer/duck camp is wet and muddy and these help tremendously.

I have the exact same truck!

Also, I don't think Goodyear makes the K02. Do you have the BF Goodrinch K02 or whatever the good year A/T tire is?

Doing the KO2.


Put a set of 35" on my F250. About 2 weeks ago I went hog hunting and got in some plowed ground by accident. I thought I was stuck for sure but the KO2's pulled through. They will sling some mud if you turn them fast enough. Good thing too because it was midnight and don't think any of my buddies would have answered the phone.

Falken widpeak at/3. I had ko2 and absolutely hated them in the rain after 20k. They were rotated every 5k as well. Just couldn’t get over how poor they were in rain. ‘15 f150
