SilveradoJakee Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I have an 01 Silverado, 2wd with 2 inch level shackles to lower it in the rear, with the stock 16in... Ewww, I have a new set of GM Factory Silverado SS wheels that im using, but i dont know what size tire will look good with not to much rim, or too much rubber, and will ride nice and perform good. Somone told me to do a 285/50/20 which will be close to my tire now which is 255/75/16 and look good. But im not sure. Any advice on the type of tire and size to look good with?

70chevy03ss Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I had 305/50/20 on my stock ss. I know run 305/45/22 on my other truck. Not sure what to tell u since u lowered it. You want something with a thicker sidewall. Better ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I had 305/50/r20 on my SS and I thought they looked amazing. They were nice and wide, yet had a thick enough side wall to make it a more comfortable ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilveradoJakee Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 What kind of tires are you guys running? I was thinking of doing a Toyo S/T1 can I have a source who's got like 12 of them left but I heard some people talking about them spinning to much...

I was thinking of doing a Toyo S/T1 can I have a source who's got like 12 of them left but I heard some people talking about them spinning to much... The original Toyo Proxes S/T ? It's good for heavier vehicles as it's XL load rated, perfect for sport trucks, but it probably will be a traction issue on anything with significant power. They were fine on my old TBI-powered '94, ya know? Even gripped well when I hooked it into corners as if it was a sports car. If you're going to buy those Proxes S/T's just be sure to check the date codes. That tire has been out of production for a while. I've got Toyo Proxes S/T II's on my SS and they've been fine. It doesn't take a lot to light them up but I'm also not out street racing, so it's not that big of a concern to me. You'll have to decide which way you want to go, raw flat-out sticky tire for maximum dry traction, something in between, all season, or what? I'm guessing in Arizona you don't get much wet weather? I've been pretty happy with BFG Sport Comp 2's on my 300C SRT8, though it can blow them right off the car if I want it to. I put the all season version of those same tires on the Magnum SRT8 for my girl, since that's her daily, and it rains here pretty often.

diggerdan11 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I had Toyo ST1's for 60k miles and loved them. But like Richard said those have been out of production for a while. Everyone I talk to says the ST2's are even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
