When I bought my truck it came with the Goodyear LS2 P275/55/R20 tires.

 

I have almost 80,000 miles on the truck and I know I would need tires soon, so I went out and measured the tread depth and found 3 of the original tires have 5/32 tread left on them. That tells me I have 30% wear left on the tires.

The other one was replaced 4 years ago at 29,000 due to a nail in the edge of the tire and had to be replaced. It is showing 7/32 tread left on it.

 

If I am averaging 13,000 miles per 1/32 wear, it could be possible to get over 100,000 miles out of these tires!

Dang that's crazy lol I was just looking at mine the other day and noticed they seem to have an awful lot of tread left after 29k miles.

Awesome. I had plenty left on my alenzas at 50k, but wanted michelins. Theyre allright, but alenzas were probably my best oem tire...

Well, I am real easy on the truck and don't brake at the last minute either. The tire pressure varies because first of all, I am not diligent about keeping the pressures at the required amounts.

I usually check the dash readout TPMS and when they get down to 28 or so, I will set them at 32 and that is with the tires cold.

With the temps we have here in So Calif. in winter and summer, the pressure according to the TPMS will go down to 27 and as high as 35.

All the tires even though set at all the same pressure per my gauge will read 1 or 2 pounds up or down on the TPMS.

 

I do have the tires rotated at almost every oil change (7 - 8K miles).

I did not have them balanced regularly until they had around 70,000 miles on them because I never thought of that until then.

 

Front end alignment was done a couple of years ago and is off a little bit, camber I think, but only by 1 degree according to the specs. I wasn't going to get an alignment just for that 1 degree.

Must be a good bit of difference in the 20" Goodyear LS2's and the Goodyear SRA's? 2014 SLT with 20" wheels the SRA's made less than 30k before I had to toss them. On my 2016 Denali with 20" SRA's they had around 20k on them when i sold the truck and they looked over 1/2 worn out. Now before you say bad driving habits I had an average mpg of well over 20mpg on the 2016 it was driven like grandpa. The Goodyear SRA's are pure junk tires IMO. I might try a set of these LS2's in the future if they make them in the 22" size for this 17 Ultimate, (factory 22" Bridgestone Duelers) the LS2's sound like an entire different tire from the SRA.

Be glad you didn't get the crappy Uniroyal Tiger Paws that came on mine (they also came on my 98 Sierra when I bought it new). I don't think they lasted 30000 miles (rotated with oil changes). In fact, on my '10 Sierra, I had 1 rear tire separate at about 25000 miles and hated the thought of having mis-matched tires, so I went ahead and had all 4 changed. I knew the guy doing the work and he called me back to take a look at them...the other rear tire was starting to come apart.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
