I know this thread is from last year but it was the most recent thread I found about these tires. What are people running for pressures in these? The tire place set them to 36psi as stated on the door sticker but upping them to 42 resulted in a bump in mileage.

We have had a decent amount of snow here in SW lower Michigan and the tires have done great so far. Still Very happy with them. Recently upgraded my wheels also and they look great with the new wheels

I put these tires on my Sierra a little over a month ago. I went with P275/60R20 which is one size taller then stock (33" vs 32"). Got a pretty good deal on them from Discount Tire Direct ($130/tire a

I have a set of these and love them. They handle Great in wet conditions and are not very loud. I just got new wheels and had these mounted up from my old ones. Next set I may go wider, but just depen

Door sticker is for factory tires only. Run within the pressure of your side wall to your personal liking and don’t look back.

I was looking more for feedback based on experience. I've already strayed from the door sticker. I was thinking of bumping it up some more but wasn't sure what pressure started wearing the center tread faster.

I had the BFG tk0s for over 60k miles and liked them but I just swapped for the fallen and so far I gotta say that I like the Falkens more. They are not as loud as the BFG’s and ride great!

Fair enough.   I've been running them on my trucks for (4) years.  2013, and 2015 Silverado 1500s.   I put about 75K on each set.   I also run them on my Wrangler (33s).   I tried the KO2s as well.   GREAT tire.   I'd say as good as the Duratracs.  These Falkens are not keeping tread anywhere near as well.  (I have 8K on them now).  I cant imagine they last more than 30-35K.   I feel the slip on wet payment as wel.   To be fair, this is my first 20" rim with them.   Both 13 and 15 had 18" and the Wrangler 15".   I'll be swapping out soon/when can and will report back.

My KO2’s slipped all over in the rain. My work truck had the good year duratracks and they were okay in the rain but still slipped. I expect the falkens will be as slippery as the KO2’s. It hasn’t rained here in northern California yet so I can’t compare. The KO2’s were great in the snow! Since the falkens are snow rated I also expect them to perform the same.

While mine are new and I'm hesitant to judge a brand new tire on how they actually perform, they've been nothing short of amazing in the rain. We've had light rain, heavy rain, flooding, you name it. They grip well and don't hydroplane. I did autocross with my old car rain or shine so I feel I'm a bit for picky about grip than the average consumer and I was impressed with this regardless of their price range.

I have P275/60R20 and have been running 35 PSI front and 32 rear. Wear has been good and even. I have found with previous tires that too much air in the back the tread in the center wears a lot quicker (my bed is usually empty).

I did the same strategy, If I'm going to tow or haul anything I can add some air to the rear but for everyday driving it's 3psi lower out back.

I have found that the back do heat up (expand) and thus increase the pressure.   I also lower the rear by 2 PSI.   I run 34 rear and 36 front.

Looks to be nothing but likes for these tires, today I ordered a set of the LT 265 70R17/10 which has the 18/32 tread depth, a little more than what I need being load range E and 10 ply but my current 17" Blizzak W965 are the same load range and I find the ride to be pretty good. The American racing Wheels are not a proper fit so now looking at some Ultra Wheels, started snowing here today so looking forward to getting them put on and powering through some of the white stuff, the Blizzaks are amazing in the snow but they are mounted on 17" OEM Steel wheels and it's ugly compared to my KMC XD Hoss wheels haha.

 

I'll post some pictures once they are mounted

Well I called them today to double check about the rims and they told me they will not fit haha, so they have refunded my order and I'm going to make another order and I may go with the Ultra Wheels Phantom 225 in a 17 x 8 in a 1mm offset

You think 1mm offset is going to make all the difference? LoL. What am I missing here?

 

I’m particularly interested, because I am going to try and fit the same size wheel and tire.

haha no I was told the that American racing wheel wouldn't fit because of my brakes, I would like to stay as close to 0mm as possible as I like the way my summer tire setup looks giving it a tad wider stance, the factory wheels were 18mm offset.

Also the Falken tire size I picked needs a 7 - 8.5 rim and I want something all black and don't feel like spending a fortune

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
