285/70/17 without suspension modification 04 Z71?

[Dr Tahoe]

Abstrastic, I am going from Goodyear Fortera tires (road) to the 285/70/17 terra grapplers that you have. I'm getting them next week. Do you hear them inside the vehicle? If so, are they loud enough to be annoying on a long road trip?

i just got these Falken Rocky Mountains with the rims yesterday and i like 'em a lot... they ride good and look pretty good too. not too noisy either, you can barely hear 'em. they're 265/75/16

I ran 285/70/17 BFG A/T's on my stock Z71 tahoe and there was absolutely no rubbing.

I put on the 285/70/17 on my stocker wheels on my stock suspension Z71 Tahoe and not a bit of rubbing lock to lock forward or reverse. I have the Nitto Terra Grapplers there is a little bit of road noise, but it's nothing compared to the road noise of a mud tire if you've ever had a set. I just turn up the radio a bit and good to go

I had 305/70-16's on my old 98 2500 and they are extremely quiet. Once you get a few miles on them though they pretty much just turn into regular street tires, no mud capability. I'm looking at the Mickey Thompson ATZ's or Pro Comp Extreme AT's for my new/old Tahoe.
