I havent been able to find a wheels and tires thread so I figured I would start one. What wheels and tires does everyone have on their Blazers?

Tire Size
Brand
MT/ AT
Road Noise
Effect on MPGs

Wheel size
Offset

I have 31×10.50R15 Falken Wild Peak AT3's on stock 2001 4wd rims. Tires preform great all around! Pretty aggressive tread yet minimal road noise. Great for North Carolina clay mud and rocky trails inbthe mountains. They dropped my mpgs by maybe 1mpg.

Looking to upgrade my winter tires before next winter.
Probably with a 30" Kumho AT or something similar.
I have some 17" black chrome Boss rims I will put on in the summer... I'll post a pic of those when I get home.

Wheels: Stock 15", 7" wide, +50 mm offset (7Jx15 ET50)
Tires: 30x9.5R15

I also did a mild suspension lift. The tire store did a test fit of 31x10.5s but they would hit the frame rail when the steering wheel was at full turn. Also I have running boards that have a part that takes up space at the rear end of the front wheel wells that I worried would also interfere with 31" tires.

Tires: 37x14.50R15 Toyo M/T
Wheels: Centerline (specific model unknown).

Road noise is reasonable. MPG is terrible, but that's expected.

Here's the 17" Boss rims... Need cleaned up, but look decent.
They have Goodyear P235/55R17 rubber as of right now.

2 sets

1st rims stock aluminium 15" tires Pirelli Scorpion M&S 275/75 R15

Nice and smooth tires for street and limited snow use. Last long and on dry roads have incredible grip for a Blazer. Cornering they tend to understeer on wet roads. In snow medium traction but limited steering forces (understeering quickly).

2nd rims stock aluminium 15" tires NOKIAN winter M&S 275/75 R15
These are nice winter tires. Good traction no additional noise. Also a tendency to understeer on wet roads but less than the Pirellis. Lasting long (>30'000 miles aka 4 - 5 seasons)

I store them in a cool garage away from sunlight and no electrical equipment around. Took it for controls a year ago with 8 year old tires. The Pirellis were still soft and no cracks.

Wheels : 15" Ion Alloy 186
Tires : 31x10.5 Hankook Dynapro MT


A few turns on the torsion bars in the front to bring it up a little but not maxed out, maybe 1.5" lift over stock. The tires lightly scuff the frame rear of the suspension at full lock on either side. Taller shackles in the back that maybe gave it about 1" of lift. 1.25" spacers in the rear make the track with close to matching between front and rear. They stick out about 2" out on either side.

I had BFG KM2's, then went onto Super Swampers, now I got the good stuff! Pitbull rockers on K5 wheels. Going beadlocks soon.
