Leveled with new wheels and tires

[17CrewCab1500]

Leveled my 2017 1500 big horn with Bilstein 5100s set at 2.8, with Mevotech upper control arms.

Did 33x12.5x20 Yokohama Geolander MTs with KMC XD Series Hoss2 20x9 inch wheels with gold accents with a 0 offset.

I'll take better pics, was at Discount for 3 hours and its getting dark.

Damn that’s a surprise, looks great. You’ll like that tire, handles great on the road even in heavy rain.

Very nicely done, it’s good to have such a large company within access of you.

why an MT over an AT? do you offroad lots?

 

[17CrewCab1500]

I do, or I should say I will be, but I think an AT would be fine for what I'll be doing most of the time.

I did a MT for a for a few places in mind and really for the looks. I wanted the look more aggressive.

how is the road noise? what's the anticipated mileage you hope to get on them?

 

[17CrewCab1500]

I am used to 2500s and higher load range tires. I'm hearing 40k is doable, but I will be using off-road so not 100%. I have never ran a Yokohama before, so with that and a 1500.. I'm not really sure..

Road noise isn't bad to be honest with you. Can hear the hum, but it's not bad. Can feel the lugs under 5mph.

My wife has ran the AT tire on her Durango for the last 10 years and we love them. Granted a different tire, but one reason I wanted to try the Yoks.

I had Nittos that lasted 25k.. So I'm hoping a lighter truck, I'll get 30 to 40k.. I drive less than 8k a year too.

they peek out just enough I wouldn't if it were my truck. Curious about OPs decision though

 

[JB1]

I have the same tires, they handle great and noise isn’t bad at all, they don’t weigh a lot either

 

[JohnnyMac]

That's a nice compliment of colors with the rims/paint. Looks great!

 

[17CrewCab1500]

Maybe painted factory ones. Been looking online and craigslist.

We will see.

I guess being in Texas, you have no idea how those tires would handle snow and ice ?

Nice wheels, looked good in the box, better on your truck.
