Biggest tire on PPV wheels?

[steven000e]

I need new tires for my 2015 PPV and I am looking at the bfgoodrich all terrain ko2 but I would like a bigger/taller tire than P265/60R17 - They just seem too small

Are there any other options for a stock PPV?

Thank you in advance.

PS: I may have the option to buy a set of 22 silverado wheels but I am afraid they might not fit.

I put 20" Silverado rims on my '14 PPV. Tires are 285/50/20 and they rub only in extreme turns

Just remember your PPV has been lowered with the tuned suspension they came with. If your not going to run it hard those 22's might be ok. But a lot of time and money went into matching those 265's with the hoe on the track. But a taller side wall will give you a better ride

I like the black rims but a taller tire would fill in nicely?

But how tall can I go?

Thanks

265/70/17 should fit just fine and is about the same height as a civilian Tahoe. It’ll fill in all that wheel gap the ppv has with stock size tires and give a nicer ride.


I have a 2010 ssv so not a direct comparison to your 15 ppv but running 265/70/17 ko2’s and it’s lowered. Rides great.

I run 305/50x20 tires on stock 20" wheels with no rubbing. My spare tire is a 265/70x17, and I have run this tire on my truck with no rubbing.

I hope that this is helpful to you.

Anyone running a taller tire have to have the speedometer recalibrated?

 

[Joseph Garcia]

I have a Blackbear Performance tune. During the tuning process Blackbear can adjust the speedometer algorithm to correctly synch with whatever tire size that you have on the truck.

I’m running 20” wheels and I had my speedometer calibrated when I got my Black Bear tune as well. It was off by about 6 mph so I was going faster than what my speedometer showed.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. Just seeing how it came out and if you have any pics. Thanks

My new ride! 2014 PPV - tire shopping and this thread was very helpful! Thanks team!

The weather is nice enough to paint outside now, so I touched up my rims and installed the new rubber!

265/70/17 seems perfect!

Any suggestions on how to clean up these caps? Or mebbe just buy new?

Thanks folks! I've already had great success in de-de-commissioning this PPV.
Easy'n quick horn fix, tailgate latch fix and bulb changeouts ALL thanks to the fantastically helpful bunch in here!!
I did lotsa time fixing my rides in the 60's and 70's and now that I'm a bit slower with a wrench, I really appreciate a good tip!

Taking this beaut on a run up north to Thompson MB next week.
Looking forward to the ride!

Simple green.

New PPV caps are stupid expensive. Over $100 apiece last I checked. New or used.

Hey Sparksalot and 89, thanks for those ideas! That Lime-Away sounds very similar to CLR which I actually have here, so I'm gonna start with that and see how it goes!
Hopefully successful pics to follow...
