The Great Wheel Dilemma!

[George B]

I was so

I'm pretty sure I've read that but don't remember where anymore. Will poke around and see if it comes back to me.

Looking:
The Dorman wheels for my truck are only 1760 pounds! LOL

I found that this brand is related to american racing. The weight rating on these is up to 2200 pounds each. Price isn’t bad either. There are several other options too.

Just missed a set of OEM ones with the chevy caps for $1100. Bummer!

I have the same wheels you currently have sitting brand new in boxes and here are the tires that I am going with. We sell a lot of these at the Chevy dealership I work at. Balance out real easy and road force very well.

I wanted to buy these but they are put of stock with no lead on when they will come in.

I see these but they are going to need a slight cleanup on the back side according to pics I got from the seller.

Close but looking for the chrome version.

 

[George B]

I dunno. Seems a lil steep for wheels with curb rash and crap tires....

So, I took the bait @BADRIDES was fishing with and will be looking for the same style wheels to show up at my door in a week or so.

These are the non-corroded version of what I have. Next on the list is a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires.

Will see how I like them. the reviews are good.
Someone on here had some sensors for a good price but I can't find them now. I will just reuse my old ones for now. Gonna sell my takeoffs for a good price to re-coop some of my money.

@George B has been nothing but a pleasure to do business with and I will ship these out Monday.

Slight change of plans

 

[George B]

Tires arrived today. 258/45-22 Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S going on 22X9 +24 GM Factory Split Spoke wheels. Probably going to rub a little more than my current set so I may need to adjust the liners a bit.

@George B I haven't searched every thread yet, so you may have mentioned it, but how do you like these tires? Now that you probably got some good time in the snow with them?

Not a fan of them in this size. But ai really think its the size. They are pretty squirmy in that greasy slush that forms on the road. They perform good enough in deep snow and work well on packed snow. Is is always a no go for most tires. For snow I would seriously consider a different set of wheels in 17” and get some dedicated snows.

 

[mtc1328]

Thank you for the response. I am in Indianapolis, and the slushy stuff and ice is what we get most, aside from a few good snow days here and there. I would be mounting them a 20" rim, which would make a difference.

I found a bunch of great reviews searching a Tacoma forum, but that's clearly a different vehicle. I will continue my research.

I would expect the 20” version to perform in a similar way to these. I think the width is the issue. Best tires I had in snow were Goodyear Duratrac in 265/75-16. The slush would squish out from under them.

The Duratracs are also on my list. I've read many good things about them.

The only complaint would be the noise. They were pretty loud.

Falken Wildpeak at3w worked well too.
