Hey guys,

 

So I placed an order for a fully loaded 2014 Onyx Black Sierra Denali.

 

I'm at the point of deciding whether I want to add 22" black 6 spoke LPO wheels on it or leave the stock 20" Denali wheels on.

 

My decision will be based on ride quality.

 

For those who have experience with 22" wheels vs. 20" wheels, what difference did you experience in ride quality? Rougher, stiffer, smoother, better handling, etc...

 

And also, how long do the tires last in terms of milage before needing to be replaced on a 22" wheel vs a 20" wheel.

 

Thank you in advance!

All I can tell you, is during my test drives the 18's rode better than the 20's, but we're in constant construction season around here, so the roads are all shit. The 22's have better tires than the 20's, so you might not notice a ride quality difference.

Yeah, not really sure tbh. I love the look of the 22"s, especially the black ones with six spokes, but the Denali stock wheels look pretty good too.

I have the 22" SEY wheels. My truck rides amazing. Best riding vehicle I've ever owned. They come with Bridgestone Dualer A/T's which are much better tires than the Goodyears. I have friends that have over 50K on their sets of the Bridgestone Dualers. IMO the 22's are with it for the tires alone...

 

Here's mine...

This is a good point. The Goodyears I had didn't ride well.

 

OP, you should go drive some with both and see what you think.

I think I'll just keep the stocks. I love the way the black wheels look but I put more importance on ride quality over the looks. I can add them later on if need be, thanks guys!

I noticed absolutely zero difference in ride quality over the one I test drive before I ordered mine and mine with 22's...

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
