You are confused.  Calling a bunch of people who are actually running these tires liars simply because their actual 1st hand experience is different than your cousin's brother's uncle or whatever has nothing to do with democracy.  It has something to do with you.


That’s why I always say, “If you don’t have anything intelligent to say just don’t say anything at all”.

I reckon if the OP is also running them at 35 PSI, it is not enough.  LT need a lot more air than P-Metrics to support the weight of the vehicle and keep the tire cool.

 

On mine own truck, 42 PSI comfortably exceeded all the weight ratings but they wore quickly and I foolishly lost a lot of life out of them, BFG KO2s.  BFG told me to run them at 50 PSI and I was slow to come around.  The ride is better and they are wearing a lot less than before now.  They could have gone 60K, I'll be lucky to see 40K because I ran them too low early on.

I had the same issue with my bfgs. Too little air for the first few thousand miles.  Mine have 30k on them now and look good despite my early mistake.  I’m hoping for another 2 winters from them.

 

I really like the look of the ridge grap but I want to keep to tires with severe weather rating.  I drive in some mixed / drifting conditions in winter and like not having to switch in and out of 4x4 constantly.  With my KO2s I can just run 2wd until I’m off pavement.  Other tires I’d consider are duratracs and General ATX.

What so impresses me is how little 4WD is needed with these tires.  I often engage it just because its there though being in the south the only snow we see is on tv.  But for the most part through mud and rain, the tires have been fantastic and negated the need for 4WD most of the time.

I live down south and absolutely agree with you on the need for severe weather tires. I have had a lot of experience only with BFG KO’s driving my Land Cruisers or Rovers some years back. While traveling on Million Mile Road both my Range Rover and LandCruisers never skipped a beat especially with my KO’s. A lot also had to do with the vehicles I had but I think you’d be crazy not to look for that snowflake [emoji300]️ if you drive in snow areas.

Its important to me because heavy winds cause areas to drift days after the storm. You’ll be on dry bare pavement and round a turn be in a foot of snow. There’s no time to switch to 4x4 especially with how slow these trucks transfer over.  The auto setting is no help in these situations either. The snowflake symbol is a must, m+s doesn’t cut it.  I plow snow (in a different truck) and am usually forced to get to work in the worst of conditions.  There’s no acceptable excuses for me to not show up for work.

I’m speechless, 2006 I almost moved my family to Colorado and when I arrived at the airport a blizzard hit really hard, had to walk through what seemed like 4’ of snow to get to our Jeep Cherokee rental, I spent two days being taken around by the realtor looking at houses, I did have to ask “why are all the kitchen cabinets in all the homes we’ve looked at are stuffed with canned vegetables and so much more? The realtor said in case you’re stuck in a long white out and can’t drive on the roads. Ummm, decided to stay put in Texas. I totally get it, there’s no way to travel under any of those type of conditions with Michelin Defenders or anything other than Duratracs, KO2’s. Stay safe and God Bless.

So I spoke with Nitto. Great customer service. They told me to run my 295/60/R20 no less than 36 and no more 46/48. Going to run the backs at 40 and the fronts at 42.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
