I would like to get larger tires for a 2002 Silverado 4x4. I’m told the largest I can get are 33′s. Can someone confirm this? Can you suggest a brand/model that would give the best city/highway preformance? The stock tires are P265/75R 16. I’d like to go with a new 18 inch rim size. Can you provide me with the exact dimensions of the tire so that I can search online for what is available? I know that sounds stupid, but it would be a 33x XX x XX? is what I mean by exact dimensions. Thanks.

Tip:
Maintenance after Water-crossings<br> So once you have successfully crossed to the other side and are on your way home, you don't need to give the water crossing a second thought, right? Wrong! Any crossing at axle depth or deeper necessitates a checking of the diff oil for water contamination. Having an extended diff breather is not a 100% guarantee of waterproofness and any crossing above your axles without extended diff breathers should mean a mandatory inspection. Checking your diffs for water contamination is very easy. Since water is heavier than oil, it will collect at the lowest point in the diff, right where the drain plug is located. After allowing time for your 4x4 to cool, just loosen the drain bolt and run a small amount (~20mls) of the diff oil into a glass. If you're unlucky enough to have water present, the diff oil should be drained. It is best to flush the diff several times to ensure all traces of water are removed. Milky colored oil also indicates water is present and should also be changed.
