Decided on the 33's fellas...don't feel like spending more than I have to and still have issues with the 35's. $337 per tire mounted and balanced. That sound about right? Seems expensive to me, but it is a 20" wheel

***Disregard any and all typos as my large thumbs cannot fit the keyboard correctly***

No that's about right on prices. Bigger tire with large wheel diameter will get ya. Excited to see the new tires!

DeputyDipShizz · Jan 18, 2012

No spacers...Was told 35's would need them, noone mentioned it really, not even the tire guy, having an issue with 33's...Pretty excited myself to see them, pay for them is a different story lol...Always seem to buy tires at Tax time...Honesty fellas I don't plan on having this truck to long, maybe another year and a half which these tires will get me to. I'd like to pick up a diesel eventually, and I am pretty much done with my truck, happy the way it is, want to get work done on my Jeep instead of the other vehicles for once. Get back to wheeling so me and the fam can go into the outdoors and enjoy what we havnt the last few years due to my spending on this truck, and the previous truck lol

the problem here is not the diameter of the tire....33 vs. 35. its the width. That tire is most likely going to rub on the upper control arm not only when turning or at full lock but all the time.

12.5" wide tires were not an issue on the 02-05, but when they changed to coil overs in 06 it became an issue. Just warning you now so you are prepared.

Wonderful...The drift I captured was that 33's will be ok...but 35's would be an issue, my very first post had all the sizes I was considering including width

Calling to cancel, they are on backorder anyways so I was just put on a list...I thought the issue was rubbing the bumper and also some components due to the height...Not width...back to step 1...I think I might just sell the damn thing...Lately its been nothing but trouble

sorry man....better to know now then when the tires are already mounted on the wheels.

DeputyDipShizz · Jan 18, 2012

Definitely...Not quite sure what I was thinking with the height and width issues. Been busy lately and guess I didn't really think about it till now, thanks though, back to the drawing board

Id like to get the same tires I have now but one size up...still too pricey though

these damn tires are expensive enough. I'm not upsizing till i do a lift

bigbadram1500 · Jan 18, 2012

My 34's are 275/65/20's. Stock width just an inch taller. I believe they make that size in the LTZ's that you have. Mine are Nitto TG's, got them from Discount Tire for 1200 on the truck, out the door.

DeputyDipShizz · Jan 19, 2012

Called a few places and the cheapest for the Nitto Terra Grapplers is 260 a tire 1201 total for mount balance and new stems...I think its a go...It's at a local NTB so I'll be watching them closely

bigbadram1500 · Jan 19, 2012

Sweet. I've been very happy with my TG's. They are wearing well.

DeputyDipShizz · Jan 19, 2012

I ordered them this afternoon. Ended up going with the first place I got prices at. Privately owned, free rotations for the life of the tire, and simply awesome work and reviews. For $100 extra I'll take it, its a little closer too. So total is about $1301 out the door. Can't wait till they come in and get them on, Thanks for all the help guys, would have sucked to get those 12.50's in and they didn't fit lol
