People are always concerned about tread life when purchasing tires... I just did my 2nd oil change/tire rotation since putting my ATZs on; which means these tires have 10,000 on the clock.

 

I'm very impressed with their wear so far and thought it'd be a good idea to throw up some pictures

 

and measurements. I'll update the thread with each 5,000 mile interval

 

Starting tread depth = 20/32 (.625")

10,000 mile tread depth = 18/32

 

 

So it looks like my first 10,000 miles wore about 1/16 off. Note that it's hard to decipher the exact tread measurement in that picture because the camera is not parallel with the line of measurement.

Man those are some badazz looking tires. They remind me of the tread on one of the Catepillar earth movers.

Yeah they're awesome looking tires... i wanted them for years and finally got them for this truck. They're a good 60+ lbs per tire though for these 33s :lol: .

15,000 MILE UPDATE

Starting tread depth = 20/32 (.625")

10,000 mile tread depth = 18/32

15,000 mile tread depth = 17/32

 

Barely any wear in the past 5k miles! Looks to be just under 9/16 but well over 8/16. So I took the average of 8.5/16 which is 17/32 tread depth.

 

Overall tread loss in 15,000 miles is 3/32!!! Hopefully this trend continues.. at 30k miles i should have a good 13-14/32 Left (For reference... MOST A/T tires come with 14/32 or 16/32 tread depth brand new)

At this rate you will get 100,000 Miles!! Highly doubtful though. But it looks like I found my next set of tires.

 

:ughdance: dont forget that you replace tires long before they get to 0" tread depth. I usually dont go below 5 or 6/32. Plus as tires age their wear tends to accelerate.

 

Im thinking an easy 30 with this set... probably 40... and a slight possibility for 50. (if i keep them that long!... ill have to sell them to someone on this forum so we can continue keeping track...)

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
