Anybody can say anything they want on the internet to make their point sound true, but simple physics dictate otherwise. Either way you slice it a taller sidewall will ride better apples to apples, if you say otherwise there is something called a placebo effect in place, happens all the time with rose colored glasses on. An E-rated LT 55 tires might ride worse than a P-rated 45 series tire, but a 55 series P-rated tire will ride better than a 45 series P-rated tire, it resist damage from pot holes better, will help protect the rim from curb damage which I see all too often with the big rim crowd, will have shorter stopping distances, better acceleration and higher MPG's. Handling, well it is a truck and a larger rim won't magically make it handle ten times better it will be mostly imperceptible, basically one plus for multiple minus' for going with the big rims. If you think your 22's on rubber bands ride well, wait until you have an 18" rim and a proper apples to apples tire on there, you will think it is a Cadillac... Back to reading the comments, I am thoroughly enjoying it!

Picked up my special ordered 2019 Trail Boss about 2 weeks ago.  Loving it so far.  Lots of mods already.

Hi,

New to the forum!  I've had my Silverado for a month so far. Here's a pic. Borla S Type catback on the way...

I like the ride but I can tell there are 22"s  when I hit a bump... Otherwise its smoother than I thought it would be. 

I've been reading and catching up on all the threads...found the forum looking for tuner discussions; man, a lot of nice trucks on here! jeffstruck.thumb.jpg.ae29d970392fe576f3bccfe7b9712e94.jpg

Hmm... What size 22" tires do you have? I surmise 285/45/22?

I had the factory 18s with the all season Michelin’s and they were horrible. Honestly. And I also have a Cadillac XT5. The 22s ride better with the Bridgestones and absorb the same amount of absuse from crappy Ohio roads as the Cadillac. Just like you said, perception is in the mind of the individual. I’m happy that’s all I care for.

Best tires you can get if you want a nice ride with an aggressive look... read some reviews.. it’s clearly the industry leader for new hybrid truck tiresaa0507d814fe6b8f762f3912e9a647bc.jpg512023c4afd53742d00e49ae097687be.jpg1c849b466c0305120049242c9ab85af3.jpg6f97e6378b095f1f4c3edacdc5cbdcaa.jpg

I’m tempted to ditch the stock 22” tires for those nittos dang 

Read the reviews... overwhelming positive across about 10 tire websites.  It was release early 2017.. it’s the new gold standard.

they are the factory 275/50/22 Bridgestone Alenza. I really like the look of the Nittos but by the time these tires wear out, I’ll know what I want.

Hmm I seen one today with the blacked out badge and I think they look sharp. But not sure what package on the LT get you the black badges. Nice looking truck.

Dealer just swapped to a black bowtie. Fairly cheap to do.

Thanks buddy. It's not part of a certain package, just an accessory. I've had to do it on my last 3 trucks, but was lucky that it came with it on this one.

 

It's definitely an easy mod though.

My earlier point exactly. More sidewall = more cushion for the impact of the road to be absorbed.

18" tire, best case scenario. 20" tire, not as good as 18" but much better than the thinner area a 22" wheel provides.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By newdude · Posted

      No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
