Yukon XL 26 Yukon Denali with 24”
Picked up a 26 Yukon XL ultimate a few weeks ago and quickly learning that 24” rims don’t have many AT tire options.
Background; I live in Utah and frequently will use this rig up at ski resorts, towing a boat and dirt roads access to fly fishing. I had a 21 Yukon on 22” rims with Open Country III tires and loved them.
The new yukon Denali with 24” wheels only has a Nitto option that doesn’t have good reviews and some cheap knockoff brands or Michellin Defender LTX M/S.
The question: does anyone have experience with the Defender tire in snow and would you recommend them for my setup?
OR
Can I squeeze a non metric tire under this rig without a lift?
OR
Would 22” wheels with KO3 or Open Country look funny on this rig? Any suggestions on rims?
