Nitto Ridge Grapplers are awesome tires but from what I’ve heard, they’re not so good in the snow. Mine have approximately 15k miles on them (about ready for a new set lol) with great results, no hydroplaning and great traction in fields while hog hunting. I LOVE the side wall protection, my KO2’s easily showed curb rash but not the Ridge Grapplers. They’re about as loud as the KO2’s on the freeway.
KO2’s didn’t do well in the mud at all but are far better than stock. The DuraTracs have horrible reviews once you get over the 10k mile range they get loud and ride really rough.

Nitto Ridge Grapplers all the way! These have 15k miles on them. You’ll get sick of them before they wear out lol.

Factory 20" wheels with stock size aftermarket Cooper AT3 4s ....No lift or level.  It's a P rated tire, which rides well, but rated as a heavy duty with a max 50psi rating.

Cooper AT3XLT 275/70r18. Completely changed the look of the truck. 

Only about 100 miles on them so far- but torrential downpour proven, lol. Made in USA too!

Looks like stock suspension?

Completely stock. No rubbing - little over 33” tire.

Thanks! I'm putting a leveling kit in on Thursday (my LT is pretty raked out) and I'm going to go with this size, I think.

I really like them- not too much bigger but a definite improvement. They are taller and a little narrower than the trailboss tires.

I have to second the Nitto recommendation.  I've used Terra Grapplers on my current truck and previous one, they performed and lasted well.  Affordable too.

Looks like the blocks on the tires are "feathering", more material rubbing off the leading edge of the block than the trailing edge. My blocky Goodyear Wranglers did......felt by drawing hand on the tire one way and then in the reverse direction, smoother one way that the other. At 10K without rotating they were getting noisy and running rough.

 

No directional arrows on tires so I rotated them myself doing a cross rotation instead of front to back. Ran just as rough (maybe a little rougher) for the first 500 miles and then smoothed right out.....then when I rubbed my had over the tire both directions were equally smooth. The cross rotation wore the high edges off the blocks which now had slightly rounded edges on both leading and trailing edges.....tires were smoother riding and quieter. Wear has a lot to do with tire composition and Wranglers may wear in different than other brands Traded at 15K otherwise I would have cross rotated again at 20K.

295 60 20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2 with 2 inch Rough Country level kit.  No rubbing and rides nice.  I had the old Terra grapplers on my old truck and they lasted forever.  Nitto makes a solid tire.

Who knows lol, I may be getting a new set shortly, I rotate them every 3k - 4K miles but I drive very aggressively, off-roading on the weekends while hog hunting (reminds me to check on my Q-ThunderChicken) and going over curbs. These Nittos have indestructible sidewalls!

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
