Take a look at Cooper ZEON LTZ's I ran two sets on my 07 model and got about 45K miles a set. Mostly Highway miles and they are quiet and aggressive.

 

I too ran the Zeon LTZ's and they were an awesome tire!

Best??? Who knows. But the most popular tire around here lately has been the new bfg ko2. Those where the one's i picked. Very happy with them just 8,000 miles so far. It was such a tough decision tho 4a6e48aec5439aae01c9adfd0f40f542.jpgd91986ded6f9f068e0314f62d55eeab1.jpg

Have any of you guys traded in your oem tires toward new ones? I've seen a few people around the forum mention they have done this. I am curious if this is a common thing shops will do, or if it's only at certain big name places.

Put em on CL, I'd think you should be able to get between 3-350 no problem for such new tires.

While they may be only $100 qulaity wise, the lowest I found a 275/55/20 brand new is $140, and as high as $185. Now the tire shop would be haggle-free, but you should be able to get more on CL.

If I could maybe get more of CL than trading them in, I may just buy new ones and hope I sell the old ones. Just don't wanna get stuck with another set of oem tires to add to the storage building that I didn't/couldn't sell lol. I've got 3 sets in there right now all from different vehicles, that's why I asked about the trade in.

I agree with you idea of getting a trade-in return. I've ended up giving away wheels and tires from past trucks. I have my OEM AT wheels in the garage right now. I believe I've given them away to my brother. I hope he picks them up soon, otherwise I'll deliver them. The tires went to the gardener. I'm not storing that crap for long.

Like I said, the trade-in will be hassle free, but it wouldn't hurt to put them on CL, and if you get someone who wants them, then tell them it will be a day or two until you can get your new ones. I really don't see how you wouldn't be able to sell them for $300. Maybe I've just had better luck with selling things on CL.

I take it you just wanted to hook your brother up? You could sell those for sure for some descent change.

It's just a hassle to deal with.

Well I guess back on topic now, always been a fan of BFG, but those st maxx look great too!! I've never ran coopers, but I'm digging them! These oem tires are coming off either way I look at it. Tried pulling up to a different spot in a buddy's paved driveway on a hill to let his wife in the garage this evening after some rain, and spun out all over the place, unacceptable. These will either get traded/sold/stored/whatever. If all goes as planned, I'll have new shoes before February 1

Toyo AT2 Xtreme's.

 

Ive had numerous sets of the BF KO's on my tahoe, got these new on my sierra and the AT2's blow them out of the water in rain and especially in the mud.

Let me necro this thread a little bit... Any updates on the tires? I'm currently looking at six different tires: Falken Wildpeak AT01, Dick Cepek Fun Country, Nitto Terra Grappler G2, Toyo Open Country R/T, BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2, and General Grabber AT2. I would venture a guess and say they all perform about the same. Is that true? Would my decision then be made on looks and price?

On pavement ... Sure. Hard dirt ... Maybe. Mud ... Not so much. Sand ... Not so much.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
