Wheels & Tires Upgrade

LennyB said:

Hello everyone:
I am very excited about reading all of the info, suggestions, opinions, advice and more from this forum. I want to educate myself about wheel and tire upgrades first. I feel it is one of the best mods a person can do to their new vehicle. I personally really like the wide tires on the newer SUVs. The Blazer comes stock with great wheels and tires, although I still want to upgrade. I'm thinking of no bigger than 22"s with a nice wide tire tread. Your feedback will be much appreciated. Also what else I will have to upgrade/improve to compensate for bigger wheels and tires. Thanks in advance.

get the model with the 21" wheel package, and you won't have to worry.
stock wheels and tires, least for the 21" package are actually really good. rims are pretty light, and the tire has some pretty good ratings. i wouldn't waste the money.
decent must have upgrades, no aftermarket out for the blazer yet, but you can buy the K&N air filter. bump up mpg a little.
accessories i am a fan of. premium rubber mats, cargo mat, window deflectors, molded hood deflector, molded splash guards, all relatively cheap, and i think they look great. good quality.

I have the wheels and tires that Maclblaz19 has and I agree with him/her completely. With past cars or trucks getting new wheels was my first mod. This time my RS will stay factory!

My 2019 Blazer RS tire size are 265/45 R21. I recently had to replace one of my tires, due to a nail going through the sidewall. This is such a odd size, that no one carried this size on-hand. Not any of the Dealerships. I called NTB, Good Year and a couple other tire makers. I had to order them and wait two to three days for delivery. So, instead of ordering one tire, I ordered four and changed all my tires and kept the three good tires for... Just in case, in the future, that I would have to replace another tire.

this website had all of the specs on the oem wheels and compatible model vehicles, detroitwheelandtire.com

I just put Falken wildpeak at trails in my 2LT awd. It rides better and im excited to drive in bad conditions LOL. I went with 255/65r18s.
