stock tires and wheels

[prplprowlr]

Ira53,

I have a 2007 with factory chrome rims and I am running 37x1250x17
BF all terrain k/o's. I have yet to have them rub at full turn however I have not done extreme off roading either but as far as regular dirt and pavement i have been careful at full lock but have not heard or felt anything and have seen no rub at all. Now this will not give you a wide stance look and does make the tires look more narrower than the stock look but you have to decide what look you are going for.

not worried about the look at all ,what I want is a tire and wheel combo that will allow me to do some moderate off roading with out rubbing. if I don't get stuck I'll be happy . thanks for your reply and it sets my mind at ease knowing yours don't rub .

You can do a lot of reading on here about tire opinions, I did and found the Toyo Open Country M/T's were well liked.

I bought a set and besides working great and looking mean they are quiet on the road unlike a lot of other brands of M/T tires.

Prior to doing much research I thought the Nitto's might be the way to go, but based on what I read here and lots of other sites, I'm glad I didn't buy those.

AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I have come to the conclusion that a 35-1250/17 BFG mud terrain on stock H2 wheels will yeild the best over all on road off road preformance . it has a 34.8 over all diameter and the 315/70/17 has a 34.5 oad it is 12.5 inches wide as opposed to 12 inch wide on the stock size ,so my clearance and spedo will not be a problem . anyone ever run this combo ?

I had BG MT's on my tahoe and wore them out in under 25K miles. I am much happier with the Cooper STT's and they are quieter. I would say they are equal as far as off road goes. The coopers are much cheaper.

went with Toyo open country MT tires in 35/1250/17 on the stock rim ,will let everyone know how they preform in a month or so . going to do the Fabtech tie rods and give it a good work out the first week in June. what is strange is it is 13.2 inches wide ,I thought 1250 ment 12.5 inches wide .and 35 is suposed to be the diamiter but they are 34.8 ,the only thing they got right is the 17 inch .
