Hey guys! It's time for some tires for my 1995 Chevy Silverado K1500. Right now I have 285/75-R16 BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A.
So being that this is a larger(er) truck, what do you guys think would be a good option for both decent fuel efficiency and have the rugged look/off road-capability?
Some options I have found:
BF Goodrich All Terrain (the same)
BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain
Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max
Goodyear Wranglers (of varying models)
Also, right now it has a 285 width tire, but the tire websites say to use 265. I will obviously confirm if this is right with the professional at the shop. I'm wondering if a new tire will get worse fuel economy than a bald tire (like mine), if the tire is skinnier. In other words, will the skinnier tires offset the decrease in fuel economy from the treads?
What do you guys think? What tires will be good and does anybody have any reviews for similar vehicles?
Thanks!
