New 275/60/20 BFG A/T KO2

[tsltrek]

I would watch the tread edges as GMs infamous front suspension likes to chew up outer edges while turning. Nothing you can do to stop it but rotate tires more often.

I didn't know this was a thing...but I am already seeing the outer edges of the front tires starting to wear compared to the rears. That's one reason I went with the higher pressure.

You can run higher pressure to get the center tread to wear even with the edges but the tire will most likely need to be at max pressure. Most tires in C range are around 50 psi and recommended settings are 34psi on the doors. I ran my set at 40 psi and rotated every 4-5k, just checked the tire depth every month to monitor for max tire life. When I sold the yukon it had 20k miles on the tires and weren't worn bad at all with 7/32-8/32" depth. Sure the edges had a little bit more wear but that wont be an issue until the center gets to the wear bars. Just something to monitor like oil changes to keep max tire life.

Those look awesome! Just wondering will the 2007+ models still fit 285s stock like the older models?

I have them at 34 front and 35 rear and its riding a lot better. Should I just be looking at the sides of the tire to make sure the lower inflation isn't tearing up the outer tread? They do not look under inflated at all.

Which 1 inch level kit do you have? I can only find 2-2.5 level kits for my LTZ tahoe.

It's just a 1" lower mounting (bolts to bottom of shock) spacer. Like $22 on eBay. Just search 07-14 Yukon 1" leveling kit on eBay and you'll find it. Make sure you get the lower-mounting kit. It's kind of a U shape verses a circular shape, like an upper-mounting kit would have. They make .5", 1", 1.5" etc.. Lots of options.

I got 275/55/20 and wish I had 275/60/20 now...

The 275/60/20 are harder to find + much more expensive. I think your 275/55 look great!

Remember a 1/4" spacer on the bottom equals 1/2" lift, so a 1/2" spacer is 1" lift. I do believe a 1/2" spacer will work with stock bolts anything above that needs longer bolts. I would search for 275/60R20 they will fill out better than the 275/55R20 IMO

the price difference is not much 55 to 60

Ahhh see I put a 1'' on the bottom, and have cali lean... I need to raise the rear about 1/2" now.
It doesn't look bad or anything, but I do want it higher in the rear now
