After the last two weekends it’s time to replace the tires and wheels on mom and dads Suburban. The tires are from 2001 and I’ve managed to mess up three out of the four aluminum wheels and blow two tires. The plan is to put black steel wheels and new tires on. Debating on if I should change wheel sizes and what tire to run, don’t want to go any bigger on tires. It has 33x12.50x15’s on it now with 15x10- 6lug with a 3.5 backspacing. Thought’s? Stick with 15’s? What tire? All the black steel wheels I’ve found are 4” backspacing, will .5” make much of a difference? This has only gotten about 7,000 miles put on it in the last 20yrs. so the tires will age out before the tread wears out so not worried about a high mileage tire. Looking for something good on the trail and street. The plan is to drive it back and forth to trails/ camping and around town just to keep the batteries charged and the fuel fresh.
