Looking to replace my ATP's in the coming weeks and can't decide between the max or pro's! I'd really like to know which one is the quietest as they will likely see more road than dirt or sand. Looking at a 35 12.50 R20 to go with a 4.5 inch lift if that matters at all. Anyone with experience on either of these, your input would greatly be appreciated!

no problem man. Yeah and if i recall, online tire site reviews agree as well. Theyre a bit noisier than say an allterrain tire but really nothing obnoxious

I really like the look of the pros but i heard the tread life was terrible on them on the highway. I dont off road at all besides driving down a dirt/gravel road 2x a week.

I had the pro's on my 2014 Denali 2500, and now have the st maxx on my 2015 Denali 1500.

The st maxx is definitely quieter than the pros. The pro's are more of a dedicated mud tire, and the maxx's are a hybrid between an all season and mud tire. The maxx was extremely quiet for the first 6000 miles, but started to create a bit of a hum after that. Based on my current treadwear at (25,000 km) about 15,000 miles, I will probably get close about 48,000 to 50,000 miles out of them.

The pro's hummed right away from new, but not as bad as other mud tires. I only got 38,000 miles out of them, but that was on a 3/4 ton diesel.

Both the pro and maxx tire sizes were 35 12.5 20's. They were both decent tires and both had similar traction capabilities. The pro's were better in mud, the Maxx's are better in snow. The Maxx's are quieter, and will probably last longer.

One's a mud tire then other is a hybrid. I you want the one with the best road manners of those two it will be the maxx hands down. Also remember the more aggressive the tire the louder not only they are when new but tend to get louder as they wear and usualy quicker. Not to mention mud tires aren't great for most winter driving (ice, hard packed or light snow) but great in the deep stuff or that is mudd under neath. If I were you the Maxx's would be on my truck.

 

Do some searching here and online, tons of great info out there if you do some HW, you might even find a different tire that meets your needs better.

Really appreciate the info everyone! I have read quite a bit about the SST Pros but not a lot of the ST maxx's. I've even considered the Toyo RT's but no one I know runs Cooper tires and I have been really been pleased with the ATP's.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
