The SRA's I have are terrible in the rain and snow. But with Auto4, or 4hi, the truck does ok. But even on dry roads, i find myself spinning them when going around a corner from a stop in 2hi.

 

My dads Ram has SRA's as well, but they have a slightly different tread pattern and shoulder design. And they have much better grip in all scenarios than the ones on my truck. Weird....

 

I am close to putting a set of BFG KO2's on my sierra.

My buddy's 2014 ram has sr-a they are 275/60/20. He likes them. My where fine for 17,000 miles but with a 2.5 level they looked bad 2 me. I was lucky enough 2 sell mine for $280. Im getting different rims 4 the nice months. I may get sr-a if they are in the size i want.

Yea my dads are that same size, 275/60/20. They look fine on stock truck, but once you add a level...they need to be upgraded.

 

I would find a different tire if I were you. They are just junky all around. Even in summer.

Wow. I wish I could run into the ads some of you guys must place in your local Craig's List.

 

"I was lucky to get $280. for my terrible SR/As"

 

If I could buy new SR/As for $280 in Craigslist, Sears Tire would be some sad campers.

I'll never run SR/A's in Michigan snow again.

Good summer tires (pavement only).

I've been thru 6 tires on my 2014 and the dealer still can't get the vibration on my truck to stop...

You should search for the vibration thread... it's NOT the tires. There's a vibration in some of the new 14s and 15s that hasn't been definitively identified. I test drove an identical truck on my 3rd trip in to the dealer, it rode perfect, they took the rims off it and bolted them on mine. Mine still vibrates.... it's the driveline somewhere. Chime in on the other thread and maybe someone can have some luck diagnosing these things... remember you only have a certain amount of time to lemon it out if they can't fix it.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and maybe memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
