Platinum wheels with larger more aggressive tires?

[Hartz]

What do you guys do with the stock tires with a few hundred miles on them?

Some users have reported that their dealer offered them significant savings off a new set tires if they traded them in - as much as $150 per tire. I had no such luck with my dealer here, so I sold them on the used market, rather easily actually. There were quite a few offers within a couple of days of posting. Sold in less than a week.

The AT2's are generally well-made and relatively long-lasting all purpose tires. There is a market out there for them, especially brand new ones.

i will tell you this. If you want a smooth ride stay away from rubber band tires like 55's you will feel every bump and crack in the road. the more side wall you have the smoother the ride

Nice! What was the MPG hit on the powerboost with the bigger tires? I’m leaning toward this size to replace my stock tires...

I wasn't a fan of the stock wheels either, but they look much much better with a more aggressive tire. I thought about the Nitto RG, but went with the BFG K02 instead. 275/65r20. No lift, no rubbing, and no trimming required at this size with the 4x4.

How does that tire ride/feel on the highway?

I honestly prefer it to the stock ride. It's still really smooth and quiet, but I thought the ride with the stock wheels felt too floaty, if that makes sense. These tires give me an ever-so-slightly better feel.

Good question, I have only put about 600 miles on the truck and I am getting 15.8mpg. The dealer warned me to not worry about fuel mileage or pay close attention until the truck has gone through it's break in period. I'm expecting to lose about 2 mpg based on what I have read.

305/55r20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s on stock wheels and suspension. Actually had these tires on the 2013 I traded in for the 2021 and asked the dealer to swap them as part of the trade. No rub whatsoever.

Did you get the truck programmed for the tires? I know they are only 0.2” taller, but I was curious.

I did not have anything reprogrammed but I would note that (oddly) the discrepancy between the speed on the speedometer versus gps is slightly less than it was when I had the tires on my 2013. On the 2021, if it says I’m doing 75 mph on the speedo it’ll say 74 via gps. In the 2013 I had, 75 on the speedo would equate to 73 on gps.

Anyone changed the Hankooks out for larger or more aggressive looking tires ? I‘d like to see pics to see if better looking tires would make me change my mind about these stock wheels.

I went with the Pirelli Scorpion ATZ raised white letter tires...they look the Awesome.....the white letter tires are the only way to go....and they are "very" quiet on the road, yet have that "aggresive" look....check them out!

Do you have a full profile picture of the truck with these tires? I have 285/65/20 BFGs on mine and the ride quality is worse than I anticipated. The shop left the air pressure too low so I'm going to adjust that first. If there is no improvement or not enough I will probably swap them for something different.

Implying you need ~ 33.5" tire to match the speed/odometer calibration - also implies that a stock truck warranty will expire quicker than it should truck looks good with there tires

Looks very nice - does this size tire/stock wheel sit flush or is there a slight poke?
