The fuel door didn't move, if you look at the exhaust pipe behind the tire. Those Rims and tires look nice, is that there original color?

What year is that tahoe? I wasn't aware of any 5x5.5 bolt pattern tahoe wheels ...did you redrill? also I did jack it up and put one on but there is no way it was gonna fit if i let the jack down...maybe i'll take a picture and post the "non fitment" on here...

So I found some used tires that I want to go look at...They are 265/50r20 Goodyear Fortera HL's...Anyone have any experience with these...and what should I look for when inspecting used tires?

I had the GY Forteras on my old Explorer, they were a pretty good tire, nice and quiet and good in the snow. They were better than the GY Wrangler RT/Ss that they replaced.

Look for the DOT date of manufacture, which is a 4 digit code at the end of the DOT #'s. Tires should be discarded after 7 years.
And look for any dry cracking spots.
