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?

When you get to be old like me Philip and you travel more you will see all sorts of strange and wonderful sights and have some equally strange experiences. I once followed a Semi into a corn field in

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.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
