Hey everyone,
This is my first post, but long time reader. Now I feel like I can be involved. Over the past weekend I purchased a 98 GMC K2500 SLT. Very nice rig, fully loaded, 80,000 miles, very well taken care of and a heck of a deal. Now it's time for some personalizing. It needs tires and those stock rims are an eye soar. I am going with Alcoa LTS 5 spokes for wheels and am not sure on tires yet. So here are my questions. Will a 285-75R16 tire fit on a stock height Suburban? And, any reccomendations on tires. I know a lot of people out won't agree with this, but I was thinking about BFG Mud Terrians. I kinda want to go for a mean tough look. A friend of mine has these tires on his truck, and he has almost 50,000 miles on them and still has a good amount tread left. I was quite surprised with the low amount of road noise and how well they handled in all types of weather. But I am open to comments and suggestions. Thanks for the help, Brad.
