Man, I must be in the minority but I actually really like my 22" AT RH-S's. Pretty good for an OEM tire and I may even replace them with the same. Love the aesthetics (tread pattern) and I have 33k on mine. Looks like I should get 50k, possible 60 if I push it. And I have only rotated them 2x in 33k miles.

Yep you got a horse shoe up your ass. They're are lots better tires out there than those Bridgestone's...

In 22's though? Because the selection for 22's is a lot more limited. I would love KO2's or Duratracs. Only other good option I see would be the new Nitto Ridge Grappler but I fear the road noise and ride quality.

Ridge Grapplers are about the best AT tire you can get. The Terra Grappler G2's are great too. They even have a 60K warranty. Nitto is REALLY good about keeping road noise down.

Have you ran the ridge grapplers? They aren't overly loud?

They're sightly louder then the Bridgestone's. Personally I have to really concentrate to hear them. They really aren't noisy. They're a far cry from the mud tires that sounds like a damn Apache Helicopter going down the road lol

Also keep in mind that on factory installed tires from GM or whoever, their tires more often than not come with less tread depth than a new non OEM tire purchased at discount tire/Tires Plus, Goodyear, Costco etc etc. If auto manufacturers can cut the tread depth by 1 or 2/32nds per tire for millions of tires, they will save a ton of money in the process.

"Special tires"?  ?

Can you provide any valid links to prove this?

Where did you get this information? 

 

Not likely.

See mine look like they have plenty of tread left and could easily get to 40k miles, until you notice the red and green tread indicators.  I'm planning to switch to either the Nitto Terra Grapplers, or Ridge Grapplers.

Here is a link to my original post regarding my 22" Continental Terrain Contact A/T tires.  I have about 15000 miles on them now and they look perfect.  Very happy with these tires:

I got 74,000 miles out of my factory original P265/65R18 Bridgestone Dueler AT RH-S's.  I rotate my tires myself at every oil change (approx 4500 miles) and make sure they are set at exactly 35psi cold (digital tire gauge) every month.  Surprisingly, they still had acceptable wet and snow traction even when they were down to the molded-in-the-tread wear bars.  And they were never ever rebalanced--they didn't have to be.  My Bridgestone/Firestone dealer said they had never seen any of their AT tires last that long.  Of course, they don't know of anyone who still rotates their own tires or changes their own oil, either.  

 

Apparently, the people writing bad reviews of this tire on here are either: 1) Light duty pickup drivers who value a soft/quiet ride over getting stuck in wet grass and only love Michelin highway tires, or 2) Jeep drivers who wouldn't be happy with anything less than a mud-terrain tire with extreme tread--one that gets terrible gas mileage and is unbearable on pavement. In retrospect, these RH-S's are the best all-around long-lasting on/off road, all terrain tires that you can live with on the highway, that I've ever seen or heard of, period. And I've driven them all (General/Goodyear/BfGoodrich/Firestone/Gillette/Michelin/Uniroyal/Douglas, et al) over the last 40 years. The bottom line is that anyone who gets stuck in the snow/ice on these tires is a showoff looking to get stuck, or way short on driver talent or vehicle capability.

 

I've had a set of Revo 3's and a set of Alenza Plus's since then.  The Revo 3's were 'sexier' and the Alenzas are a bit quieter and get a little better gas mileage, but I honestly wish I'd gone with more RH-S's.

I don't mind the 22" RHS's that my truck came with. 18,000 miles and they still look pretty good. They are a good all around AT tire. I'm not going to run them much past 30,000 miles since I want to go bigger but I'm sure 50,000 wouldn't be out of the question. If they made a 305 45 22 I'd buy another set. 

Those Alenzas wear as good as a Michelin. I've put 70,000

on two sets of these.

Not likely.

It's something that can happen because certain auto manufacturers create a tire that is specific to the vehicle it is going on. That in turn can change the tread depth and tire handling/life on the road. Not all tires are this way but some are. Some tires will have two different part numbers even though they are the same size.

 

Maybe saying "more often than not" is the bad choice of words but the rest can still be true.

The red and green paint is from the factory. I believe they use it for quality control....

Those lines are just manufacture marks and usually wear off pretty quickly.  I have red and green indicators on all four which feel like some sort of hard plastic.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
