New ride has some low profile fancy crap on it. Good for now but would like to get into more useful rubber for the winter.
Whats the best route? Do you guys trade em in at tire shop? Buy and sell everything outright on CL or FB? Not a fan of online stuff was told some good options there to buy with everything balanced and set to bolt on.
Might consider a set of winter rim and tires too, keep fancy for summer use since I do zero off roading.
How do low profile tow bigger rigs in the 4-6k# range?
Go to TireRack.com. That’s how we got winter rim and tire package(comes mounted, balanced, and lugnuts) for the wife’s car. It came with 19 inch low profile tires, and went with 16 inch rims and tires and saved quite a bit of money that way. Also some auto dealerships will honor buy three get one free tire sales while ordering through Tire Rack.
I roll 22s on my Yukon. Pimps don’t take the winter off.

Spectacular.
It wasn’t that long ago that 20s were huge. I have stock 20s on my Sequoia, and I’ve thought to myself, “Those aren’t very big.”

Winter tires are the bomb. Blizzak DMV2’s for the win.

How loud are they? I got duratracs for the current Yukon and they are phenomenal but hate the noise. Want to quiet this one up a bit.
If you don’t know about rustys tire in North Minneapolis check them out. It’s been a few years since I’ve been there but a true gem.
Used to be able to get a set of good used tires installed in about 4 minutes for like $20 a tire. Basically a drive thru tire shop

I don’t recall them being loud. Not huge lugs but the winter traction is priceless. I will get 3 seasons out of them and you get at least that additionaly from your summer tires. That’s a lot of years from two sets of tires. I put a lot of miles on so most people would stretch them longer. I just got into them two years ago and could kick myself for waiting so long. James says the same thing.
Come on Beads – Lets see the pics!!!
DT – You sportin spinners and curb feelers with the 22’s?
He ain’t fly if he ain’t got these,,,,,

Its playa NOT Playa
Didn’t think they made winter stuff for the big rims. Looks like I may join the winter pimpin club! 
What truck do you have? That will help. FB you can sell anything. I bought some 2021 F-150 take off with 34 miles on them for the same price as the tires would have cost and I got 4 brand new 20″ chrome rims, so deals to be had. If its a ford or Chevy there are tons of new take off sets for $1000 range

Since there’s no way I can top DT, here’s a more boring note.
Two years ago I traded new tires at the shop and got a fair deal. Yesterday it was completely opposite. Manager at Discount Tire was straight up, I can’t offer you what these are worth. Everyone is buying used from FB Marketplace, Craiglist, etc. He made me an offer and it was insanely low just as he said.
So go see the classifieds, cough cough, hint, hint! shameless plug for me trying to sell a set 
Is the Yukon a 4 wheel or all wheel drive?
4wd with the 5.3l and most trim packages
The Yukon Denali is AWD with the 6.2l
I always sell my tires on market place or Craigslist, but I have a in at norms tires and wheels in mpls. So I buy new at cost. When I sell people get great deals.
I just sold my moto metal 22s with almost new rubber on them for half the cost the wheels alone would cost new. I just wanted a change. So deals are to be had. If you have a Yukon there is a million of them out there and tire size that is very common. Put some nice rubber on the duce duces and be happy. Or buy winter wheels and tires.
Cracked rim has me changing to 20s whether I like it or not.
Question, do I need to recalibrate the PC for the new rims immediately or can I take it in after I throw on new ones? Is it just to change the speedometer or are there other functions that change as well for truck engine performance?
Thanks!

You can do it afterwards. You need to get the new tire/wheel size calibrated into the truck. It calibrates your speedometer and also affects transmission shift points.
On another note just bought a 2nd set of OE rims and tires for my 18 Silverado. $1200 for rims, new GY tires, and new TPMS sensors. Now I have winter/summer swap sets.
No shops I have spoke with brought up any issues other than calibrating the speedometer and tpms.
Just gonna send it and hope for the best.
Specs arent far off, about +1.8mph at 65.

In theory, if you don’t re-cal shouldn’t your odo stay lower too? Might be better for re-sale

I’ve used both on Chevy Diesel pickups. Nothing I’ve used compares to the Blizzaks for traction when driving on pavement in icy conditions and they aren’t as noisy as the duratracs.
No 20″ blades on the Impala??
No blades for this guy unfortunately bman, beads always go well with the spinners tho….
Put blizzaks on the kids car and can’t express how much better u feel seeing your kid take off in snowy weather with some great tires.
Goodyear trail runners came on the new rims, will be seeing how they run this winter.
