New Girl to the Tahoe World!

[BessicaLoren]

Hey guys - First time ever joining a forum although I’ve been reading others’ for years when I needed help. Decided I’d join now that I have a toy I want to mod!

I’m looking to upgrade the wheels but know little to nothing about what to do when shopping for tires. I have tons of stupid questions. I just know my goal is to have agressive, beefy tires that protrude from the sides maybe an inch or two. I will be keeping the stock suspension so rubbing is something I am cautious about. These will be mainly for the winter months as I got this big baby to commute in the Jersey weather. I named my new (2012) Tahoe LT pronounced “Lo-ren”, who has a few upgrades of the LTZ. Any help, tips, and favorite sites/brands will be greatly appreciated! I definitely need help with this one

Good luck!

Welcome! Wheels and tires like this:

This is my daughter's truck. It has mud-terrain tires but for snow you would be better off with BFGoodrich KO2s for snow. Is this the look, wheels and tires wise you are looking for?

That is one of my favorite trucks of all time. Certainly the wheel setup I am going for. Is this a stock suspension?! She looks tall.
