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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
