I run 36 psi in my Bridgestone 22's. 44 is max and 40 is still a bit high. Try 36 I think you'll like it.

I run 35. 40 is way to high for normal every day driving. No wonder you have a harsh ride. Not to mention you'll wear the center of your tires out...

"Liking" something will cause the flowers to bloom, the birds to sing, the sun to shine and defy the laws of physics. It's a proven fact. Honesty.jpg

i like my wheels. the question was if it affects the ride, and yes it does. I run 40psi because of the temperature swings in texas. i'd never go back to 20's. I might however go back to 55 sidewalls just to soften up the ride a little.

I live right next door in Louisiana and I have zero problems running 36psi. 40 is still too much. Tire pressure should be checked cold. When it's a hot brutal day driving, the tires get hot that will bring your pressure up around 4-5 psi (too stiff of a ride). A vehicle parked in direct sunlight will increase pressure. Pressure may have to be checked more often in colder winter months. Running 40 in the winter will give you a harsh ride because cold rubber is hard. 35-36 is a good year round running pressure. If you want a 55 sidewall you will have to go back to 20's because a 22" 55 won't fit your truck.

55 sidewall wont fit on a leveled truck? i dunno about that.

Even if you have a 4x4 and a 2" lift kit in the front the max o.d. would be about 33" and that's pushing it. Well see if you can find a 22" 55 that will fit your leveled truck. Ain't gonna happen... A 55 22" will be a terrain tire and is huge and the smallest you will probably find is a 285/55/22 witch has an o.d. of 34.5.

If you want to run 40 psi and enjoy your "harsher" ride then so be it to each his own but dude, chill.... Don't get so defensive when someone is giving you advice. Geez... I don't know your knowledge in tire pressure and I don't know why you run 40psi either. I'm not trying to give you a lesson in tire pressure just trying to help, info and advice which is what the forum is about. I don't know your knowledge in tire sizing either but maybe you could use one. Here are a few pics of a trucks with 285/55/22's. if you want a 4" front lift and this is the look you want and want to pay $400 a tire then go for it!

3psi is smaller than the difference in cold and hot. i drive my tires at 40psi because thats usually what they run when warmed up. i leave them at 36-37psi cold. again, who cares. 22's are not equal to 20's in ride quality unless you keep the sidewall the same.

 

whether or not i can get 275/55's or not will be determined in 60,000 miles. i'm not that worried about it. I'm just answering the OP's question from someone who directly changed exact rim size and noticed a difference.

anytime. thanks for making sure i had just the right amount of air in my tires and how to properly measure it. i'd feel bad for a woman on this forum that doesn't change the oil but every 25,000 miles. some OCD people here.

You're the one complaining about harsh ride quality and inflating your tires to 40 psi. Personally, I think 35 is to high. Usually end up running about 33 or so unless I'm hauling something

I agree on 33 for a better ride but I think running 35-36 you will get better tread life.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
