Been searching for info/pictures of this tire setup on a stock AT4. Very glad to find out it will work with no rubbing. Thank you for posting

 

The factory tire size is just a tick over 34” in diameter and just a tick under 11” wide so I’m not surprised that 35 x 12.50 fit. 👍🏻

 

GM has to package protect for tire chains so slightly larger tires generally fit with no issues.

Duratracs will not be sold as factory equipment in the future due to Goodyear not wanting OEMs to modify it for their needs. Duratracs will be an aftermarket only tire. The 1500s will be the last to have them. Goodyear has a new brand called territory that OEMs will use for AT and MT applications.

Good day!

Just wondering what you mean by Goodyear not wanting OEM's to modify the tires for their needs.

Thank you!

 

Tire manufacturers have brands within their tire lineup that are very good in the aftermarket. They don't want the OEMs to modify the tire to their priorities because it could alter the core DNA of the tire brand. An OEMs desire to have better stopping distance or rolling resistance could hurt the off road performance of a Duratrac. Goodyear does not want to put something out ther that could hurt their brand and aftermarket sales. Michelin does this with their BF Goodrich lineup currently.

Gotcha. Thank you!!!

 

Nice looking truck. I've been pouring through this forum looking for someone running these tires with a negative offset wheel. Do you have any thoughts on whether there would be rubbing with a -18 offset instead of the +44 on the stock wheels? I'm leaning towards the Kryptonite levelling kit regardless which should help regardless. Thanks.

 

I'm wanting to upgrade my tires also. I'm hesitant on installing a leveling kit because I tow a pretty big 5th wheel and would rather not install air bags in the rear because or the rough ride. So was just wondering if you have taken your truck off road so it really articulates to see if those tires rub?

 

I will not use the Duratracs due to the weak 2ply sidewall know of failures in the field with them (had to help plug more than one for a surveyor during one day) I run and have run many sets of the Nitto Ridge Grappler 3ply sidewalls. Run these on my 2020 Denali now (35x12.50-20) and there is no rubbing during articulation. I am one of those people who works it out off road just because of where I have to go on the ranch. On the highway just amazing how smooth they are. .

 

Are they load range E

Thanks Busa, I have a set of these I want to put on my Denali. Do you have any rub lock to lock?

 

Curious about this also......hopefully Busa replies.

 

Picked up some Goodyear Duratracs today. They are 35x12.50r20 with the stock suspension and no rubbing. Very impressed how the 2020 HDs will clear these tires from the factory. I drove through a construction entrance on Monday and cut my factory tire on the corner of the sidewall. The tire store said that it couldn't be patched but that I could try plugging it myself. I decided to upgrade tires instead and hold onto the takeoffs for another work truck that I have. Overall, I'm impressed with the look and ride quality. GM should have used these as the factory tire for the AT4 HD.

PS. Sorry for the dirty truck photos. I run a construction company.

Just installed set of 4 BF Goodrich 35x12.5x20 on my 2020 High Country 3500 HD and it’s not rubbing. Drove around with sharp turns and not rubbing, I’ll check on off road but so far so good.

 

Look good,,,still debating between those or 295/65/20,,,,I have 2500 AT/4

 

Anybody running 20x10 wheels? I want to put a set of 35x12.5’s on 20x10 Method NV 305 wheels with -18 offset.

 

Thanks buddy,,,they look good and with room to spare,,,and your truck is stock suspension?

 

Yes, stock suspension, I was told that I need to get lift installed to raise the front to make sure it’s not rubbing, but I went and tried it without lift if it’ll work and it worked perfectly, not sure how off road will be on bumps but so far so good.

 

Should be ok,,,there was a rancher on here that put the same size on and said he didn't have any rubbing driving in rough terrain,,,where did you buy them from

 

Local tire shop.

 

Ok,,,thanks for your input

 

I’ve been running my 2020 3500HD HC with 35x12.5x20 tires for 3 months + and have not felt nor saw any evidence of rubbing, don’t know if 2500 wheel well any difference than 3500 but I’d say it’s safe.

 

Sweet, the only thing that may change where the sidewalls land in space is the fact that I am running 18" wheels. Thanks for the insight; I am going to grab some measurements and hopefully order tonight.

 

This is the exact truck I am going to buy..I Love this truck ! ! ! To be clear, you were able to fit 35X12.50R20's on the truck without any modifications or rubbing of any kind ?

 

Yes 35x12.50s will fit on stock wheels with no modifications and no rubbing.

 

Be careful with this decision. The stock wheels are skinny and they are offset to the inside of the truck. Basically the truck is too wide for the stock wheels in my opinion. If you look at it for too long and start thinking the same thing as I do, you’ll want to upgrade to a wider wheel then those 35’s will rub. I’m running 295/65/20 (35.1x11.8) Toyo AT3 on 20x9 +20 Fuel wheels on a leveled 3500 and they still rub the front of the wheel well just a little when steering wheel is at full lock and in reverse. A 12.5” wide tire will rub worse than what I’ve got. Especially on a truck with stock suspension.

 

I run 35x12.50x20’s on the stock AT4 rims and have 0 issues with rubbing. I would say if you go wider you will rub on the frame though.

Your offset is around 24mm further out than the stock rims. There are guys running ridge grapplers on this forum in 295x65x20 on stock rims with no rub (no suspension mods).

 

The key point here is STOCK RIMS. If buy a set of 35’s, put them on your stock rims then change your mind and decide to put some proper width and offset rims on the truck, you’ll rub.

 

What about an 18x9 with a 12mm offset? Would they rub with that?

 

Take it to Discount and have them mount a 35” tire on that rim and test it out. They’ll take it back and refund your money if you don’t like it. 18 vs 20 won’t make a difference. Only rim width and offset.

 

Nice

 

These looked like an interesting choice. I like the tire but when I looked at the weight rating on the tires it was significantly lower than the 275 65 20 tires I am currently running. Just a variable to consider.

Did you sell off the stock tires? I need one.
