Recently picked up an '04 Yukon. Truck is completely stock (for now) and desperately needs tires. Not interested in lifting truck at this time but want to go as big as I can without rubbing. Thinking about 17 or 18" Enkei RT-6's but looking for an aggressive looking tire. Any tire suggestions and/or max sizing without rubbing on stock setup would be greatly appreciated!

i would stick with a 31". Aftermarket rims make it more difficult to fit bigger tires. Ive heard alot of good things about nitto terra grapplers

Just got the Nitto Terra Grapplers today on stock 17" z71 rims... 285/70/17. plan on getting wheels with a 0 offset but for now they run great. Looks aggressive, quiet, and handling ***** on 265's.

Thanks for responses guys!

Decided to go with 285/70/R17 BFG TA/KO's which should be a really nice upgrade to the stock wheels/tires. Will post before/after once it's done.

Nope, completely stock. Not even a t-bar crank in that pic. I get VERY light rubbing on the inner fender liner. Not even enough to bother trimming. No rubbing on the stock bumper, or the 05 Sierra bumper.

i actually went a very conservative route too. I put on a $!50 front leveling kit on my 2004 Z71 and was able to run 20 inch 33" Mud Terrains on it. I wanted an aggressive look but still keep the overall stance of the vehicle. I love it - I havent seen anything like it to date and always get great comments. You're limited in tires but I ran the Toyo MT for years and had great success. I recently am trying the Trail Nittos due to cost...another really good tire....just a bit louder.

I had a set of Toyo Open Country A/Ts on Hummer H2 rims on an 04 Silverado 2500...lovd the tires...quiet, aggressive, great on the hiway, etc.

My 06 Escalade needs tires and it was a no-brainer. I just ordered a set of Toyo Opne country A/Ts for the Escalade....if they wear as well as they did on the Chevy and dig as well in the snow and are as quiet I will be super happy. I will post pics after I get them mounted...good luck.

Hey Polobuds,

I like your tahoe. I am going for a similar look on my 2002 Z71. What keys are you running and did you have to trim alot?
