Thanks for the opinions everyone, I really appreciate it! Thank you for that analysis! That's exactly the kind of information I'm looking for. I was thinking that would probably be the case. I've never run a set of mud terrains on a full size. I have some Wild Country mud terrains on my...

It's time for new shoes for my Tahoe. I'm looking for the perfect tire, of course! I'm probably going to replace my current 15" rims with some 16" versions, and go with an LT285/75R16 size. I drive a lot of highway miles, with a 45 mile round trip to work 5 days a week. So I'm looking for a...

Wow! Now THAT'S stuck!! :D Casey

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I was wondering how you liked the Wildpeaks after all this time? I'm researching new shoes, and am quite interested in the Wildpeaks. Thanks, Casey

What happened to the 17" tires and Cragar wheels? What size tires do you have now? Are you running any sort of lift kit? I'm trying to get my Tahoe into that category as well! :) Thanks, Casey

I know, isn't that weird? If you look for aftermarket rims, they usually are 15x8, then 15x10; 16x8, 16x10, etc. I've not seen any available 15x8.5 rims myself. Only certain OEM wheels come in the .5" sizes, and usually they're narrow. Casey

I'm really leaning towards 16" rims now. Not only are 15" tire choices limited, but most 33" tires are 12.50 wide, which are not approved for my 8" wide rims. I know they still work, as I've run 13.50" tires on 8" rims before, but not on a daily driver. I'd rather stay in the approved rim...

I haven't seen those skidplates before. What brand are they? Casey

Also, what do ya'll think of Treadwrights? They've got a new design out, all new from bead to bead. Pretty good prices for a 285/70R17 in load range D. Casey

Yeah, that's what I'm starting to think. What about 17's? I've found several set of OEM 17" take offs in good shape.... any reason not to go with 17's vs. 16's? I know the tires are just a little more expensive for 17's, but there's also a chance that 16" offerings are going to start...

Nope, I've got six lug. Thanks though. Casey

I agree! I've always been partial to the two doors! ;) Casey

Thanks for the tips, guys. I've been advised that 12.50 wide tires may not ride as smoothly and handle as well as a narrower tire. I do believe that the 285/76R16 tire would be a perfect fit for what I need, and be a bit narrower (around 11.50) than the 12.50 tire. I hadn't really considered...

It's time for new shoes for my Tahoe. My rig came from the factory with 16" rims, but I ditched those in favor of some old school 15" rims several years ago. Now that it's time for new tires, I'm finding that 15" tire choices are very limited. I currently have 31 x 10.50 all terrains, but...

Thanks! I appreciate it! Yeah, I've never seen another one in person either, just on the internet. When I found this one about 7 years ago, I snatched it up fast! Casey

How cool! Two other 6.5L diesels in this thread in just that past few days! Sweet!! :victory: And a few more pics of my diesel touring NW and Central Arkansas: Casey

I'd really like to get one for my rig too! I'm thinking of having a local guy custom fab me one, though. Casey

Looking good man! Casey

Check out page 70 of the January 2013 edition of Petersen's 4 Wheel and Off-Road! Very nice Tahoe indeed... Casey

Here's some from a recent 3 day trip through the Ozark National Forest in Northwest/Central Arkansas: I was pretty pleased with how well I was able to pack everything in my TJ for a 3 day trip: Casey
