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.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Oil Consumption

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
