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 :P

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.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
