I just got my 2014 GMC Sierra SLE with Z71 off-road package and I'm looking to put some good off-road tires on my stock 18 rims but also aren't to bad on on-road driving either. I will be in the near future be putting a Rough Country 2" leveling kit to get rid of that factory stance.
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for what kind of tires they prefer and post a picture of their truck just as a reference?
You'll get so many different answers to this question... You probably want an All Terrain(A/T) tire, looks good and aggressive, can handle going off pavement, but is still good on the road. You could go M/T for mud, but those are a lot louder and don't handle as well on pavement.
I'm a BFG fan, just always good luck with them.. But Nitto Trail Grapplers, Goodyear Duratracs, Toyo O/C..just to name a few of the more popular brands..
I run a 33", technically a 32.8" tire on my stock 17's, 285/70/17. I believe for your 18" wheel, you would look for a 285/65/18. That's about the biggest you'll fit without a full lift or some serious trimming.
i second the good year duratracs. theyve gotten me into... and out of almost eveytihing ive put them thru. they are also rated for extreme winter conditions and are not too loud on pavement.
BFG mud terrains and A/ts are also highly reccomended tires. i would wait to buy a new set until after you put the leveling kit on. the stock tires just dont look right after the kid is added.
33" duratracs on 17" rims
begin and after 2.5" leveling kit with 3" rear blocks
this is the only time ive gotten stuck with the duratracs... drove her into a swamp and burried to the rockers. left her in the woods for 3 days and 2 nights
+1 on the DuraTracs. Looks good, little road noise, and got my 33's with rebate for a hair over $1k installed with the road hazard and lifetime balance/rotation.
I know mine isn't the same body style as yours, but here are some pix.
I LOVE my Pro Comp Xtreme AT's. They didn't cost me an arm and a leg, they have very little road noise, I have NEVER gotten stuck, are great in rainy conditions, and are still appealing.
Stock on the day I bought her.
Pro Comp Pro Runner adjustable shocks and 285/70/R17 installed.
I love my BFG KM2s. They are good anywhere - the road (might be little too noisy for some people), dirt, mud, snow, ice. They definitely have an aggressive look. They also might be a bit too pricey for some people. I have found them online in 285/75R16 for about $250 each on average. I got mine already mounted on my MotoMetal rims on Craigslist. Love the look and love the way they handle. I have the RC 2" leveling kit, but keep in mind I also have the NBS, so the size of the tire I can fit might be different from yours. My rims are 16x8 with a 0 offset.
