2016 Silverado and Bridgestone tires

[Hoover Chevy Man]

Morning all....I have a 2016 Silverado with Bridgestone tires and have an issue with the tires hydroplaning during rain or on wet roads. Twice at speeds of 50 MPH the truck hydroplanes and the last time it almost swapped ends. Its a company vehicle and I checked with a few others in my company that have the same truck as mine and out of 7 two of us have Bridgestone tires and we both have the same issue. Just wanting to see if anyone else has had this problem because these do not appear to be all terrain tires or even the type tires you would put on a truck, thanks for any response on this topic.

I have a 2015 Denali with a little over 10k miles, that has been driven in rain and snow with no problems. Mine are the 22" Bridgestone all terrain optional tires -may have a different tread pattern than yours if yours are a smaller diameter though?

The problem is that Bridgestone has a lot of tire varieties, some are shit, some are awesome. GM typically puts the crap ones on some of their trucks.

 

I run Alenza's and Revo 2's on my trucks and wouldn't ever switch.

Yes, which Bridgestones do you have?

I have a 15 Sierra that came with the bridgestone dueler A/T. I think they are a great tire. Had them on my last truck got almost 70,000 out of them. I will say I think the rh-s hook up all around better then the revo 2's do.

I have Goodyear GSAs on my 2016 and they're horribly reviewed.

 

Bottom line is its not Bridgestone or Goodyear. They all make entry-level price point tires and the manufacturers buy em up by the millions.

 

Those tires seldom are installed as a second set I'd guess.

 

BTW I've had these Goodyears about a week. Driven 2X in hard rain. They don't suck. Yet.
