I still have the factory Firestones that came on my base AV.....well, the right front one is new because the original was DEFECTIVE :8:

Although I'm not surprised.....

I'll make the switch when I have the cash....

A lot realy depends on whatyou will be doing. I gather from your subject line you are asking about wheels, not tires

I love your wheels but I take it that you don't get off road that much. Do those wheels come in a smaller size?
 
I am running American Eagle 16x10 wheels with 305/70-16 Pro Comp Mud Terrains.

No, that baby does not go off road much. I got the 4 wheel drive to deal with snow really. Once you have one it is not easy to give it up.
The wheels are Epic Blix, but they only come in 20 and 23. Their Diablo and Marquis which I looked at do come insmaller sizes

Ive got 20"x 10 wheels on the truck now truck with the Eagle LS 275/50/ 20 tires that they are using for the silverado ss. ? .

was just out in the rain and they handle pretty good. Much better than the Falkens that I had on the 18's that were on the truck

Very nice rims, good to see Centerline is still around. They make a high quality product but I don't see them carried in the tire shops here like they used to be in the old days. Where did you find yours?
 
I took off the stock Z71 Wheels and off-road tires and installed a set of Brand new Cadillac Escalade take-off wheels and On-Road Goodyears. Since I do not (willingly) go off road, the ride and noise differences from the off-road to the on-road was quite noticable. The Caddy dealer installed them for $400 total. - A good deal, I think. - Sethracer
 
I'm going to be getting some Toyo Proxes S/T Tires as I like the aggreesive look that they have while still maintaining an excellent ride.
I haven't decided on the size yet because I haven't decided on the wheels for my AV decisions, decisions ?;)

I bought tires and wheels from 4wheelparts.com. I still see them around quite a lot in the Seattle area.
 
Have you noticed that the plastic black tire valves always seem to crack and fall off? I am always paranoid that my tires are losing air because there isn't a good seal with the tire valve covers.


So I replaced them with these inexpensive aluminum valve covers. They screw on much deeper than the stock ones and have a better fit.

Spectron, if you are losing air from your tires when using cracked valve stem caps, you have a bad schrader valve and should replace it.
 
I'm running Toyo Proxes 295/45R20 mounted on Panther Custom Wheels EMR 259's. I shopped around for somethings reasonably priced and came up with this combo.
 
I have a set of 20" chrome Denali rims with Goodyear 285/50/20. Mounted, balanced, shipped for $2610.
I looked for several months for rims, I'm happy with these, to me just have a clean low key look. I'll try to attach a pic.

Very nice, Edward. Boyd Coddington had a couple of different rims that made it to my "short list".
 
hey, NightShift, you are going to get me in trouble. just when i thought i was satisfied with the factory rolling stock you made me change my mind. i went to your link, and the first thing i opened was the SSR replica wheel. i want it bad. >:D my wife will kill me, but oh well.
