Oh wow! I had no idea!

I'd also recommend going to a 285/45/22. I had them on the 2015 I just traded in. I went with the Continental Terrain Contact A/T. Absolutely love that tired. It was quiet on the highway, did great in the snow, dirt roads, grass etc. Definitely get the XL rated tire. The Car tires in that size aren't even rated to carry the capacity of the truck. Don't confuse XL capacity with load range E tires. The XL tire is more along the lines of a standard truck tire in capacity, stiffness, and ride quality. Most XL tires top out at 40psi, not the 80 that a load E tire goes to.

I have a 2019 AT4, it was a Canadian Spec truck so I can't turn the headlights off unless I'm in park. But the truck shuts off in 60min if it's in Park. There are times I need it to stay running for hours, with the headlights off. Putting it in neutral will keep it running, but I can't turn the lights off. It appears that the WAMS auto Sync will accomplish this. However, if I'm reading the both of his websites correctly, I have to order the AutoSync from one web site for $300, wait till I get it, then order the custom BCM tuning for another $300. Then once that's done, the Auto Sync is mostly useless? Is it really gonna cost me $600 to be able to turn my headlights off? I saw it mentioned in old threads that they used to offer a rental piece but I can't find that option on the website anymore. If you have done this for $600, was worth it with other 10-12 options you can change, or am I missing something here?

Sorry for super late delay... I believe I paid right around $1100 after the $200 rebate from the dealer, including the alignment. It seems they are running the same $200 rebate at the dealer again. Be aware the Terrain Contact HT is a different tire than the Terrain Contact I have reviewed here. I will update the review later today as I do an oil change and grab some pics.

? I think you're the only person that noticed I took the badges off. Def cleans up the truck.

Thanks, I really love those wheels more than any other. They have a clean look, not over done like most aftermarket wheels. Part of what sold me on the truck.

Well, long over due update... We had a very mild winter with nearly no snow. Only once I found myself driving through a few inches of fresh snow. First tracks at 4:30am, completely untreated roads. The tires did fantastic. Up and down steep hills, I tried 2wd and 4wd. Light and heavy throttle just to find the limits, etc. Over all, I'm very impressed. They do very well, and are a perfect balance for a daily driver in all conditions. They seem to be wearing well (despite the dealer not rotating them on the last service I'm gonna rotate them this week during the virus lockdown). They don't do as well as dedicated snow tire, as expected, but they are the best compromise I could have found, based on my current experience for wear, noise, wet weather, snow and offroad. I did end up finding the mud/slick limit of the tires on another job site while backing a 6800lb pump/trailer up a steep/short incline. I needed a tug from a tractor to get it all up, but not at all surprised nor unexpected. Still loving these tires and definitely highly recommended. I am still of the belief that these may be the best kept secret in the 285/45/22 A/T truck tire market.

Just to clarify, the 235 would be the width, not the height. The 80 would be the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width, and the 17 is the wheel diameter. Back to the review, the trip back north was just rain, and very light snow. Nothing really new to say. This winter has been warm and wet so far with nearly no snow at all. I will still keep this updated as time goes on.

So just an update, drove 11hrs from Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach, SC. Had some extremely slick conditions in the mountains of West Virginia. Steady freezing rain on I-79 just north of Beckley WV. Other trucks, tractor trailers etc all over the road, over embankments and through guard rails. Without realizing how slick it was, I was cruising along at 78Mph. Only once on a bridge did the truck slip. I backed the cruise down and carried on. My parents were a bit behind me and said they closed the road right after I got through, so the roads were about as bad as it could get. Continuing south through VA, into NC, and east to the coast, it rained the entire way. Heavy steady rain transitioning to torrential down pours. Lots of ponding on the roads, people pulling over and waiting it out. I carried on at 70+ and never once felt the steering wheel get light nor the ass end get loose or step out. So far, I am absolutely amazed how well these tires did. They are absolutely glued to the street in heavy rain and standing water. Not once did I feel I couldn't trust the tires and I was trying to find the limit.. that limit ended up being my willingness to pay a ticket up to 80mph. Cruising at 80, was as fast as I was willing to go, and not because of the tires ability to go faster. They did impeccable in the freezing rain through the mountains, to the point I'm shocked they don't have the 3PMSF symbol on them. Weather supposed to be sketchy for my return trip this week as well, so I will update again when I get home. So far, these are the best tire I have ever had for a daily driver. I absolutely love them, and still can't recommend them enough.

I know it's no where close to the weight capacity, but I never what I will be towing/hauling around or how far it will go

A few years ago, I had a set of Cooper Discoverer ATP on my 03 Sierra and even new thought they were lacking in snow. Got no where near the milage out of them. That left a sour taste in my mouth for Cooper. After those I went with Kuhmo Road Venture AT51's and absolutely loved them. They were a bit louder, but so was the entire truck compared to the 2015. This time, considering the prices of the 285/45/22 tire, there really wasn't a budget option as most tires were similarly priced. Nexen has an AT RA8, but even though its listed as an XL tire it has a VERY low weight rating of just 1,180 lbs compared to the 2,601 lbs of the Continental (which is on par with other comparable tires in this size listed as XL). The weight rating of the the tires is important to me as I often find myself hauling or towing something. My truck is always clean, but I'm not afraid to use it as truck. I will wash it as soon as I'm out of a job site. lol.

If it snows, I'm poised to have a good opportunity to try them in "first tracks" conditions. Part of my responsibility at work is over night snow removal, so when I get called in, the snow has fallen, and I'm the only one out on the roads. Plus regular trips to ski resorts with the kids around the Mid-Atlantic. Definitely not paid. I have no dog in this fight, and to be honest, these are the first set of Continentals I've ever bought. I've had 37" Bias ply Iroks, drag radials to z rated gumbands and budget A/Ts over the years. For a daily driver, these may be my favorite tire thus far.

Won't let me add more than one pic, so I'll list them below

Earlier this week I had the Continental Terrain Contact A/T put on the truck. They were replacing the Nexen Roadian HP's the previous owner had installed. (The Continentals are considerably wider than the Nexens were, in the same size) I ran them down to 2/32" to get as many miles as I could out of them. With winter coming, it was time to make a move. After calling around and taking into account the rebate, the dealer was the cheapest, much to my surprise. I've only had them on about a week so far, still messing with tire pressures to get an even tire wear using the chalk method. But so far these are the quietest A/T I have ever had. In rain it feels like they are glued to the street. On dry pavement they a have very firm (not harsh) feel. Response is dead nuts on with no wonder. I have a 1000 mile trip coming up in a couple weeks, through the mountains of West Virginia that should give a wide variety of driving conditions, so I'll report back after that. But so far initial impression is very very good This is a pretty mild A/T. It fits the vast majority of truck owners that spend much of their time on the road and a little bit in grass, dirt, gravel roads, etc. I spend most of my time on road. But often find myself in grass, gravel roads, loose dirt etc at camp. So having a tire that's civilized around the city but still capable at camp/farm was important. And this was exactly what the tire was designed for. So far, I'd have to say Continental hit a home run here. In 285/45/22, they are middle of the pack as far pricing goes. Now they don't have the 3peak mountain symbol, but I'm not at all concerned about it. It's a very good tread design that had proven to be very capable in snow in Tire Rack testing. I will update this as winter goes on and the snow falls, but I am expecting them to do well... Here are pics of them installed on my 2015 Crew standard bed.
