Tire swap ideas? 2016 LTZ 4X4

Looking for 2016 LTZ Suburban 4x4 taller more aggressive tire swap suggestions? I dont like the look nor the likely traction in light mud or ice with the stock continentals. They look like minivan tires to me. I would like a slightly more aggressive look and a slightly taller (not wider) ride without giving up ride quality. A level kit would be considered. I do rub slightly on the front spoiler or cowling whatever its called when I pull in my driveway unless I am going really slow. I live on a very busy street so getting in and out fast is somewhat of a need.

I feel about the same as I did when I got my last ride a 2011 Land Cruiser it looks a bit boring to me and like a soccer moms grocery getter that came with a $77K window sticker. I pretty much got every option as I wanted ventilated seats which means you have to get the LTZ even though I dont like the idea of powered rear seats.

Anyway I am thinking of replacing the stock continental tires with BGF All Terrain, Yokohama's or Toyo's just to give it a little bit of a truck tire look and give me piece of mind if/when I go hog hunting I might not get stuck. Anyone else done anything to a 2015-2016? Below is what I got tire and wheel wise. One very important thing to me is not having any issues ever with rubbing but wouldn't mind if the tire was a bit taller even would prefer a bit taller without needing a lift or any rubbing. I will do a level kit if needed but again dont want to mess with the quality of ride. I think it will look good next to my 1972 Chevy K5 4x4 Blazer . Thanks PG

No one has a opinion on this? Surprising it has to be something that is a common wish for the tires to look like they could get out of a small mud puddle! PG

Re: Just bought a 2016 LTZ Suburban 4x4

I bought a 2015 Silverado LTZ last fall (with the 20" wheels), and the next day I went to Discount and bought 275/60/20 BFG KO2 tires. They're 1" taller than stock and don't rub at stock height. I'm waiting for Bilstein to release the 6112 shocks so I can get them on and raise the front where it should be. They're great tires and didn't affect the mileage much.

Thanks Prong I think I might look into a 1.5" front and 1" back lift so I can do 33"s. Thanks for your post. PG

Re: Just bought a 2016 LTZ Suburban 4x4

I've always been a fan of the BFG AT's. Aggressive, stylish, nice ride, wear pretty well. The one thing I don't like is what you have to do in order to fit a little bigger tire, i.e., level the front, trim stuff, so you don't rub.

Ended up doing BFG AT's in 275-60 R20's with a front leveling kit. Looks great like it could make it through a mud puddle now the ride is a little taller and more truck like. Overall exactly like I was hoping. PG
