Nope, but give me a few months and I'll let you know. I can tell you this, with the lugs/treads you shouldn't have any trouble. Pictures don't do them justice.

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo - highly rated on TireRack.com. The BS Dueler H/L Alenza are rated slightly lower for snow and ice. There is a $100 rebate from BS for these tires on a purchase of a set of 4. I was researching these tires last week since a local tire dealership has them on sale. The Revos are pricey, but the Alenzas, on sale here for $149 each, are a bargain. I like the looks of the Cooper Zeon LTZs but none of the tire dealers in my area have them in stock to be able to quote me a price.

I second the BS Dueller H/L Alenza. I had the GY LS2's for 35Kmi and thought they were OK, but when I went to the BS's H/L's, I love them, and are far better in ride than the LS2's. I am after ride comfort as a priority, noise second, the rest down the list, but I believe they are good or better than most on the rest of the issues.

Take a look at Coopertires.com, in addition to the LTZ's that Stevens07 has, they have the Discoverer H/T Plus in your size. I'm running their ZEON XST's in the 305/50/20 and really like them so far but I don't run them in the winter. They are an American Made Tire by an American Owned Company :):D

From personal experience I say the Bridgestone H/L Alenza's run very well in the wet and snow, very surprisingly so for an all season. Another option are BFG AT KO's. They are excellent in snow and wet, though are more noisy than the Alenza.

been looking at the H/L's on tirerack, look interesting

i have BFG AT KO's on my 2500HD and I love them, but i was looking for better handling for the denali then what I think the BFG's would get me

 

the yoko parada spec-x tires look very interesting as well, getting great reviews on tirerack, anyone have a set of those on their ride?

I have the Parada Spec-X's and I really like them. But, I've never had them in heavy snow.. They seem to do well in the rain, but we don't get much of that white stuff that falls from the sky here in north Texas. :)

I have the Goodyear LS2's on my new Denali and so far I really like them.

Low noise, smooth ride, good grip in rain...and I mean typhoon rain! :)

Your Yukon Denali came with goodyear ls2s? Every Yukon I have seen has come with the bridgestones. I personally do not like the Alenzas. I think they are noisy on the highway and don't have that great of traction. I prefer michelins.

Big fan of Michelin LTX M&S's, had them on my last 2 trucks and I will again on this truck this coming winter.

The real plus here is they last forever and worked great for me in all conditions, including lots of snow/ice.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
