So after lifting the truck, I've decided to move up to some 22" wheels. I would also like to save some money in doing so if possible. The tire size that I will be running is a 35x12.50x22. Has anyone ran either of the listed tires? Or have any other suggestions? I know you get what you pay for, but was hoping that either of these might be decent for the price.

I've heard only very bad things about the fuel tires, apparently they wear out very fast. I'm just saying what I have heard from multiple people.

i bought a set of Atturo XT's in 33x12.50x20 they are terrible tires i had to send them back and get a refund. the off road shop could not get them to balance. then they tried to road force balance them and the machine said they needed 96 lbs on 1 tire 73 on another and 43 and 49 on the other two tires. it felt like you were driving over rumble strips in a parking lot. the faster you go the worse it got. I ended up getting nitto terra grappler g2. i love them. but to save money i am with KMGZ400 get TOYO's.

Those dont belong in the same statement / question. Not trying to be a a$$ but if you want 22" wheels and mud grips i would not cheap out on the tires. any 22" mud tire worth a $hit (meaning build quality) is going to be pricey. I would look at toyo nitto pro comp etc. more tire specific companies and companies that have a better than average track record. however i am not 100% on which companies offer the size your desire that are mud grips.

Im quite aware that a higher quality MT is going to cost more, as I've ran both Open Country MT and Trail Grapplers. Why would I not try to save some money if someone has had good luck with a lesser priced tire?

If you don't mind going to an A/T Falken Wildpeaks are good tires and pretty reasonably cheap

Appreciate it man! I'll check them out.

The fuel M/T I've read is just a cheap chinese tire and many people have had issues with balancing. The Atturo is suppose to be better than the fuel but that doesn't say much. Just save a little longer and get better tires.

I have ran the Fuel MT 35x12.5x22 from day one. I did have a shimmy until I had it explained that larger tires need a static and dynamic balance. Once that was done; perfect. I have 11,300 miles so far no problems and tire wear looks good.

How many miles do you expect to get out of these tires?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
