Factory GoodYear SRA

[Ozer]

Most people get about 100 - 5000 miles out of them... since they replace those junk tires with much better ones soon after buying the truck

My 2014 GMC Sierra came equipped with the GY SRA tires - P275/55R20.  They looked like an OEM tire you would see on a Cadillac.

 

After about 10,000 miles I noticed traction issues on rainy days with pulling up a hill from a standing start (very mild acceleration)

and tire slippage/spinning when turning with mild acceleration.  This kept getting worse.  Snow traction was very bad.

 

After 20,000 miles of the SRAs I purchased the GY DuraTrac tires in the OEM size - P275/55R20.  Run them at 32 PSI.

 

The traction issues were greatly reduced or eliminated with the DuraTracs.  Rotate every 5000 miles.  Have 8000 miles on them now.

 

Yes these tires "sing" a bit but I purchased the DuraTracs so I could get around with my truck.  I don't have any shaking with the truck.

I have a 2015 z71 cc with the 18 inch factory GoodYear SRA tires. I have 55,000 miles on these tires. They look like they have at least 10,000 more miles left. What's the average miles everyone is getting out of them before replacing them? I was also thinking about replacing them with a 275, will this hurt my gas mileage? Thanks 

Gas mileage will have minimal if any by sticking more to a highway tire. Goodyear’s SRA’s are a big joke in the truck world, most claiming (I myself) they’re dangerous tires due to quickly losing traction even with just a few thousand miles on them. IMHO, because you’re concerned about mpg loss, Toss them and get yourself a set of Michelin Defenders, excellent traction and wear. Good luck!

You had traction issues on the LTX or you had traction issues on your SRAs?

My new LTX are great, the traction issues on the SRAs got really bad over the last couple of hundred miles that I had them on the truck..

Ok, that's what I was hoping you meant. LTX tires are proven to be awesome, it would be heartbreaking if they weren't at their price point.

Last three sets of tires on my 2500HD were LTXs and they performed very well on that heavy truck. You would think that would be my replacement tire when the time comes but for now, I like the Fortitudes that came on the truck. Time will tell.
