What is the best replacement tires for a factory height 2015 z71 cc. I need something quiet but with decent traction. Don't care for the factory Goodyears.

Cooper AT3's are awesome. I just put LT275/70/18's on and they are very quiet and the ride is WAY better than stock. They do not feel like a LT tire. The ride is closer to a highway tire. I'd give rain performance somewhere around 7.5 out of a 10. They were a little difficult to balance on one or two tires but seem fine. Can't say how they are going to wear but they come with a 60k warranty if I remember correctly. I wish I would have put these on the day I got the truck.

Toyo Open Country A/T 2's.

 

I've had them for 20,000 km and so far they've worn awesome, they're great in the winter and on the back roads. For as aggressive as they are, I think might be a little quieter then the stock SR-As.

I put a set of Continental LX-20's on and have been very happy with them (they come standard on the top-trim Suburban and Yukon Denali). They are not an A/T tire but they are quiet and get plenty of traction in the rain/mud/snow.

I had just under 90,000 miles on the Cooper Discoverer AT3's on my '04 Dodge/Cummins before trading her. Great tires.

Michelin M/S, Toyo AT2, Cooper and Bridgestone Alenza are all good choices. Shop around compare pricing, wear ratings, weights and reviews for all of them.

I had Cooper AT3 in 285/75R/17E on my 2009 1500. I put 40,000 miles on them and then was disappointed in performance in snow after that wear. Being E rated, they rode a little rougher, but did service on lots of shale and gravel, and worked fine. I went to Goodyear Duratracs, in factory 265/75r17, C rated. They got good reviews and do ride nicer but are louder than I expected, and worse mpg than I expected going back to factory size.

What's your intended use and priorities?

I'll second that. AT3's are great tires. I put 50k on a set, and the guy I sold them to was super excited because they had so much more tread than his stockers with 40k, haha. The only reason I didn't go with them again is because their sidewall design is too mild for my taste.

I put 20k on a set of these as well. I loved how they looked (very aggressive for an AT), but they weren't as good in the snow/rain as my Coopers...and they were louder. They were the LT version.

 

 

To the OP, check out Falken Wildpeak AT3W's. That's what I'm running now, and I'm very impressed.

All street or do you offroad?

 

If it's a pavement queen like mine, the Cooper HT3 is hard to beat...excellent dry pavement, excellent wet pavement, and decent on snow, and QUIET. I've got 20k on them and figure I'll get 80k out of them.

 

I had ATPs, which are the same as AT3s, and they were noisy.

I installed the cooper at3 on my 2006 Sierra. They had over 50k on them when I traded the truck in. They were quiet and smooth. I did get a couple flats in one tire but they were p metric so not as tough as the LTs. I decided to go with the Falken wildpeak at3w on my new truck. They are smooth and very quiet. A little rougher ride but I went with the LT version so it is to be expected.

When you order new tires, do you need to order new TPMS sensors? Or will the original ones on the wheel now work?

    • That is the funnel kit I bought and for being here in Canada I did get a better deal than what other sources were charging through a certain supplier in town that sources more directly and they ordered it for me. There are other items now on the market which would be perfect as well but this has worked well which was the hope when I bought it. I mentioned the Amsoil quart bottles as they have that squarish shape up top and it props nicely on the rim of the opening without falling into the funnel so I can leave them sit and drip a bit. You may have already figured out that to get the cap off the valve cover unless one is 7 + feet tall its not going to be reached without standing on a step of some sort and so when I do that I put the right adapter in and just leave the elbow on the funnel all the time anyway and open the lid and then if using quart containers for sure I can stand beside the truck and leisurely add the oil, and I can leave that funnel on when starting the engine to let it idle to fill the filter and then add the rest of the oil to top it up before removing the funnel and putting the factory cap back on. I put the cap back on the top and slide the bottom cap on as it fits onto the elbow adapter also and then store the funnel in a clean household plastic garbage bag along with the adapter so I have no reason to be washing out the inside of the funnel as I keep it completely clean between uses.    Draining the oil as per the under the truck portion, yes indeed that is slick as someone was thinking on GM's part there and admittedly I don't drop the oil screaming hot in this truck due to the exhaust being there and makes it safer as far as the oil temp if its just warmed up some instead as I don't have the truck on any ramps etc as I do it as the tires sit on the garage floor. The filter is not boiling hot then either and can drop it off into another pail after pulling the drain plug and just leave it drip out. Go back under a few hours later with new filter in hand and clean off the filter base and put the new filter on and install the drain plug. The filter is a little cramped in there as per wrapping ones hand around the filter and I am so used to using the band style filter removal tool that its no big deal and same for snugging it up. My filter wrench is many years old now but I think this is the current version and sounds like the right size, just in case my explanation was not great ( those nylon strap wrenches that one tool fits all filters are not my favorite tool to use, I much prefer this style personally )     57020 Swivel Gripper - No Slip Filter Wrench - Small | Lisle Corporation   And again about the oil draining and filter setup under these GM trucks, I've watched Ford videos of them struggling with oil flying sideways out of the oil pan on the gas 7.3 due to the sideways drain plug onto other components or cross members and guys trying to make shields out of carboard etc and other Ford pickups that Ford insisted they have sideways drain plugs. One win for GM there anyway with this engine. 
    • Kind of off topic, wife drives a 2023 Yukon Denali with the 3.0, been a great rig so far, incredible fuel economy for a truck that big and heavy. Coming up on 50000 trouble free miles.
    • I`m gonna try some of this in my 2000 LM7 that has had the famous piston slap since 17,000 miles or so. I have used Mopar combustion chamber cleaner down the spark plug holes a few times in the past. Corrects the problem for a few months or so. Then returns. GM top engine cleaner has been used also. No good results from this.   This LM7 never used oil. Even running the piss out of it.   Course, I`m gonna use this in my 2025 L84 while it`s still clean. It`s got 13,000 miles. Used Chevron fuel system cleaner [2 bottles in tank] a tank or 2 ago.
