Has anyone had any experience with the general grabber apt tires ?  I'm thinking of going with 275/70/18 which I think is the max tire size you can run with a  leveling kit on stock rims ..  are these tires any good ? Thanks Matt

Falken Wildpeak AT3W is the go to AT tires these days.  The new Jeep Gladiator has them standard.  Have had them on my truck for 2 years and they are great tires.  Check them out!

Some of the reviews I’ve read said the winter traction was terrible with the APT. 

Today, I ordered LT265/70/18 General Grabber ATXs to run as winter tires. The reviews on their snow traction makes them sound promising. They are very similar to BFG KO2.

Not the APT, but did put the HTS60 265/65R18 on my RCSB a year ago. It's a great street tire - quiet with excellent traction. Great tire at a great price. I've been very pleased.

I had the Grabber HDs on a work van and was very surprised how good of a tire it was, best all year commercial tire I've used.  We get a lot of snow and it did better than I thought it would.  

 

Also curious about the APT. Only non LT 275/70r18 tire out there.  11" wide on a 8.0 rim and 33.2" tall. Sounds like a great fit for stock wheels, may need a level.

I have been been running a set of APTs in stock size on my 2018 LTZ for about 12k miles so far and have zero complaints with them. They ride quiet and smooth. I first went with a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers but took a huge hit on fuel mileage and then changed to these after about 2000 miles. I haven’t had them in any snow or ice yet but they are great on dry and rainy roads and we have had some torrential rain storms that I have driven through.

I have the APTs in standard 18" size, P rated. Have about 15k kms on them. Very good in dry or wet roads & gravel, OK in the one mud encounter. As good or better than any other a/t I've had on trucks & ten times better than the useless SRTs.

Don't believe the snowflake rating though, they are no better than any regular all terrain tyre in snow or ice & definitely not like a winter tyre but I already have winters on old rims. I didn't see how a 60k mile warranty would go hand in hand with a winter tyre performance, it doesn't.

Thanks for the info.  The main draw for me is that you can get them in 275/70r18 (33.2") standard load.  Every other tire in this size is LT.

 

Should make for a really nice ride, how do you feel their on road performance is?

 

I've had some aggressive AT tires like the Hankook Dynapro ATM that were really bad in the snow, so these being more all season than AT will probably be a good thing.

I finally remembered to take a pic. Mine are stock size in XL load rating. I didn’t want 8 or 10 ply tires. I have 14k miles on them right now.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
