Which tires are better on the new 1500's?  I currently have a 2019 with the goodyear wrangler fortitude HT tires and 18" aluminum rims.  I am looking to get into an RST and contemplating trying to get the Bridgestones with 20" rims.  The two tone looking rims.  Anyway, is there a difference in quality/ride, etc from these two tires?  Which one is a better tire.  I assume more sidewall is a good thing though?

I have Goodyear’s on my 18 z71 and I don’t like them.I think they are the wranglers they seem to be a soft compound as to give a better ride I guess.I will be turning it in shortly for a new one and hope to get a different tire on the next one.

I have the 20 inch Bridgestone Dueler all terrain tires on my 2020 Silverado 1500 LTZ Crew Cab short box Z-71. And even though I only have 800 miles on them. They are very quiet on the highway. They are good in the rain. And they actually are not that bad on highway on-ramp and exit ramps cornering wise. As long as you maintain your wits.

I have the Goodyear Trailrunner ATs on my 19 LTZ Z71 and have been happy with them for pavement and dirt driving.

I have the Goodyear's...through 3800 miles, I have no complaints. Good in the rain and when towing our camper no issues either. A co-worker has the Bridgestone's on his and he has the same opinions I do. Guess I'm not much help in the battle of which is better. Not sure if this is accurate but mine was built in Ft. Wayne and came with Goodyear's...his was built in Mexico and came with the Bridgestone's. Not sure if that's how the trucks end up with one over the other but good possibility.

They aren’t good in mud

yeah, wouldn't expect them to be. If I planned to be in the mud often, I'd look for other options for sure.

My 2019 was built in Mexico and came with the Goodyears.  Lol I don't understand how each truck gets which wheels and tires.  Maybe tied to certain options or maybe it's own option I am thinking.  Sounds so far that either tire should be fine.  Mostly highway/city driving for me.  Thanks!

It isn't the tire that confuses me. It's the thinking about tires. Anyone run Snow tires year around? How long is winter in the areas were snow tires are needed? But guys like to run AT's and mud tires year around when most of them spend less total miles off road than a snow tire. Sometimes none at all. I've never heard anyone ever say that an AT is better on snow and ice than a snow tire. This MUST be a situation where appearance, image, trumps utility? :dunno:

I'm in Texas (San Antonio).  We don't get any snow here at all lol.  Winter tires are literally not a thing here.  Didn't even know it was a thing until my mid 20's when I started looking into new vehicles lol.

I once followed a Semi into a corn field in Nebraska during a white out blizzard we got caught in. In a Ford Granada no less. Quite a ride. I was just following dim tail lights looking for a way off I 80. Well I got of I 80 alright :crackup:About 200 hundred yards off.

275R60/20. I'm just finishing up a set of Bridgestone Duller 684 II HT that have been flawless with proper care and now with just under 5/32 tread remaining have dated out at 125,000 trouble free miles. As good as they have been I''m going to try a crossover tire (SUV) and see if I can get a bit more comfort. Pirelli SCORPION VERDE ALL SEASON PLUS II. 

 

That Bridgestone, however is a solid performer. Keep it cross rotated and balance once in a while and watch those tire pressures. They will exceed your expectations. 

 

Hope I don't get bit buying the Pirelli. :)

Bridgestone Dueler AT RSW's on my 2020 Z71.  I was very nervous about the noise from AT tires but these have been surprisingly quiet and very smooth.  These are much nicer and quieter than I expected them to be and unless something significant occurs, I expect I'll replace them with an identical set when these wear out.

 

As for off-road ability, they do fine for me but I'm not rock crawling or swamping my truck.  When I did get the truck stuck, it was in a situation that I knew better than to be in but I did it anyways and paid the minor price of an extended vehicle cleanup.  The design or manufacturer of the tires would have made no difference in that situation.

Why is that?  I like my goodyears but this is my first truck and nothing to compare it to.  So would be thankful for any further input you may have.   Also seems that there are more than one model of each tire out there.  At least I think.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often.

      I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
