New shoes on the '15

[gemarsh]

OEM 20" rubber got 50049 miles. Was time for new tread. Installed my usual go to tire, BFG All Terrains. Glad they came out with a 275/55r20. The short sidewall with the extra rubber tread looks boss. Will get a complete side profile pic of the vehicle.

Not really as bad as I was expecting. Was surprised compared to the noise they make on my '95 k1500 with 15x35's. Had them on a '99 k2500 suburban that made some noise too.

So I was expecting more. But it would have been a good trade off for the increased traction on snow and in mud. Remember I'm from Nebraska that farms.

ya I was just curious I really wouldn't have a specific need for them at the moment but I have bought tires before that started out pretty good but then developed into some pretty annoying noise after some moderate wear.
