33s Question

[LTb1ow]

Truck rear tire developed a bubble and the wire is showing in a spot, so I guess I gotta get new tire(s).

As much as I want to, I am not gonna get new rims, so I need a 33x12.5 tire, D load range or higher.

Truck is never off roaded and I would prefer a street tire over the current procomps.

Suggestions and what not are very much appreciated, lets here what you have to off jeep owners. :lol:

I've had a couple of sets of BFG All Terrain KO's that lasted long. They were good off road for All Terrains and had the knobby sidewalls that made them look like more like a mud terrain.

I forget what you said before. I'd that the oe size?

[LTb1ow]

Their not OE wheels, and I don't think their OE size tires

17" inch rim

I love my GY silent armors... 35K and still have 11/32's

[1320B4U]

BFG a/t ko is the same tire as the general grabber at2 but the general is 30% cheaper. I run the bfg myself. Get an all terrain tire as its quieter on the highway than a mud terrain but still great off road/winter.

[S.J.SLEEPER]

Love the NIttos on my old Dmax...but wore rather quickly.
Hate the BfGs
I gotta agree with Chris (NJusedpartswhore) that the GY silent armors are the way to go. Got 3 other my buddies running them with lots of mileage,.

[LTb1ow]

Whats the metric numbers for a 33x12.5x17 ?

[NjbadSS]

Do NOT go with a general grabber, they are cheaper but not a good tire. They have had lots of problems and left me on the side of the road after only about 2 months of having them, after the tread shretted apart.

[S.J.SLEEPER]

Whats the metric numbers for a 33x12.5x17 ?:google:

[LTb1ow]

:google:

I got two numbers coming up, either 285/70-17 or 305/65-17

[LTb1ow]

Thoughts on these tires?

why not just buy 1 tire ? or are the other 3 worn ?

Yea the others have some weird wear patterns going on, Adam pointed that out. I am gonna throw the spare on maybe this weekend and hopefully pick up a set of tires in July.

Just wanna find a good set of tires that won't lessen the trucks ability to tow, and if I can get a more "street" oriented tire that'd be nice.

[LS1ow]

let me know what metric size and load you need and ill see what i have and how much off i can get you threw ETD

[LTb1ow]

285/70-17 Seems to be correct, and I would imagine highest load will be a D since its a big tire.

[LS1ow]

ill text you in a lil

[LTb1ow]

No txt yet. :(

E is the highest in that size. Look at the Goodyears... 8-)

were busy, gimme some time young man

[LTb1ow]

Still open for suggestions, I know there must be a couple 2500HD owners in here

My dad likes the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2s he has on his 2500HD. A good "road" all terrain tire.

[LTb1ow]

So the question now is, do I replace em all or just buy a cheap replacement tire for the dead one and drive it till I can do all four at once?

[WildBillyT]

How much life is on the other 3? I noticed your WTB ad and thought WTF, as you aren't supposed to ever replace just one due to handling funkiness. Maybe just replace 2 if money is tight.

[LTb1ow]

They all have some weird tread wear going on, I could prob swing a full set next month, but IDK what to do till then. The spare is stuck under the truck. Fuggin GM. :evil:

If that's the case I'd carefully run a singleton for a month and then get 4 tires and an alignment.

[LTb1ow]

Ok, so if I can get the spare down, just rock that for a while till I can get a full set, on full size spares, thats good to go correct?

Yeah. Is your full size spare also a procomp like your other 4?

[LTb1ow]

Nope, its a bridgestone of sorts, I am praying its a 33, but, with my luck today, its not gonna be.

Thoughts on this guy? Not many choices for an E rated tire this size thats not like 290 a pop like the goodyears.

i always liked the way those tires look in big sizes.... idk why.

[LTb1ow]

Yea, so far the reviews are pretty good and a 55k mileage warrenty seems pretty legit.

[LS1ow]

not like your gunna really off road the truck at all. i love for dem dere tirez

[LTb1ow]

I know, hence the AT3s versus the STT stuff. And its nearly impossible to find a "off road" tire with a E load rating.

[JL8Jeff]

I think your 33's are more of a 305/65 because they looked wider than my 295/75 tires but mine measure out closer to 34". You could probably fit 35's if you wanted to and the Hummer tires are 315/70/17 I think so you might find a better deal on that size.

[LTb1ow]

I am gonna stick with a 285/70-17 tire for now, just gotta figure out what brand to get.

Not to happy to spend ~270 a tire for the good years but IDK

I kept scanning CL until I found some 295/75/16 BFG's for sale. I think I paid $700 for all 4 and they had less than 500 miles on them.

[Tru2Chevy]

Those AT3s are nice, I believe Mike the Badmod has them on his truck.

To save a little more you should look at the Mastercraft Courser AXTs as well. They come in a 285/70/17 range E.

Just to update, got a set of AT3s on the truck, looks to be a little taller and thinner than the procomps but after getting all the procomps off... they were shot to hell. All of em had weird bulges going, and the front wheel bearing was, shall we say, gone.
