Sure thing. I'm at 2 years on these tires, and now have 65,000 miles. I've put a little over 30,000 miles on them. I would say they have a little more than 1/2 their useful life gone at this point, but still have good meat left. They are still performing well in the snow. I honestly didn't see any mpg loss, and if I had it it was negligible. They are a very good winter rated tire, so I've been happy. I did buy the XL load range version, so they are a bit harder than the straight passenger tire, but not as harsh as an LT, but they have gotten noisy. I suppose that's to be expected with an AT tire, but I was convinced I needed a new front wheel bearing, but was told I do not, it's just tire noise. But with good maintenance on the truck, they are wearing very even. Would I buy them again? I'm not sure. It's not that I'm disappointed, but I wasn't blown away. I will likely do a bit more homework before I select the next tire, but if I had to put money on it, I'd say there's only a 50% chance I will do that same tire. Hope this helps.

Well I'm about a month past the TSB for the fluid change, and I still have problems. Today when pulling out of garage (truck's temp was probably around 60 degrees), I put it into drive and she rev'd up to about 2000 before it dropped into gear and started moving. Then it was fine the rest of the day. And still the occasional hard shift. Time to go back for the full Torque Converter replacement?

Thanks. I've watched a video on pulling that cover, and i do have panel tools, so should be ok with that. If I want to try to adjust the alignment of the lid (seems to be shifted a bit to the right) by adjusting at the hinges, I'm assuming that would be done by removing the console back cover? Appreciate all your help!

Where is best to access the wireless charger harness from to be sure it's not being pinched when the lid closes? I just had the dealer install a new harness and console lid today under warranty, and well, I don't trust they were careful, and I'd like to make it last this time. Should I remove the rear console cover (probably the easiest option), or do I need to pull the underside lid of the console cover itself? Also, when the console lid was attached by then, I don't think they aligned it very well so I'd like to adjust it. Just SMH at the quality sometimes at the dealerships. Some are fantastic, and others not so much. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Just had a nice argument with the service advisor now on their second day with my truck. He said the tech reads all the same stuff I can. I said great, then he knows it doesn’t matter if he feels it or not he should do it. He said the tech is going to drive it for the first time today in a few minutes. I told him I really don’t care if he feels it or not because it’s there and per the TSB they can do it on my word. So he should talk to his service manager and/or call GM but I expect it to be done. Frustrating.

Thanks. I didn’t catch that in the TSB. I would have pushed back today when they said “we don’t just fix things we can’t reproduce.” If he tells me tomorrow the same thing I’ll point him to this. I brought the TSB this morning and he said he didn’t need it, that they would look up TSBs themselves and apply them as required.

My Sierra is at the dealer today for the clunk and shutter. Of course they said they can't reproduce, so they asked to keep it overnight so they could drive it when cold in the morning. That's fine, but since it doesn't do it every time, they may not feel it. I asked if they could just apply the TSB and do the fluid change, but they said they have to be able to reproduce it. The bumper to bumper warranty is up in 1000 miles, would the powertrain warranty still cover me till the 60K if they don't do the fluid before the bumper to bumper is over?

Well got to test the tires in snow yesterday and today. We got dumped on, about 20". Remembering that these are not snow tires, but do carry the severe weather rating, I was curious. They did very well. Shockingly well actually, but they are new, so lots of tread. So far, 300 miles in, I am still thrilled with these tires.
