Just be careful with the rim choice if you do go that route. The calipers on the new trucks make aftermarket rims a toss if you don't know the specs. Hopefully a place like tire rack or whoever knows that about the offset so the spokes don't rub the calipers.

 

And the 265/70/17 is okay but your speedo will be off by roughly ~3mph. Or bump up to a 18 and run 265/70/18's for a nearly equal size to the 22's. They make snow tires in that 18in size.

If you don't order the PEC (denali ultimate) package you can get one on 20's

 

Everything else in the package is available separately -- except the multipro step boards.

You think it will be off by about 3 mph, really? Wow I looked at those charts I posted and the numbers looked so close I almost thought there wouldn’t be any speedo error! I’ll have to keep looking I guess. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, did you plug in the numbers correctly??
 
Compare 275/50/22's with 265/70/17's and you are 3.7% different and about 3mph off at highway cruising speeds.

No, I must not have. Thank you for double checking that for me.

So, what’s the closest sized tire I can get a decent winter tire for?

In the 17's there won't be much, so I suggested the 18's in a previous post. They make Blizzaks, Hankooks and other snow tires in that size.

As others have said, pick up another set of rims, preferably 18's. Keep an eye on Craigslist or Kijiji for take-offs at a dealer. They're usually dirt cheap and will pay for themselves as opposed to mounting and balancing every six months.

 

For winter tires, you should consider going narrower than stock, never wider.

Thanks man. I’ll look and see what 18s and Blizzaks come in close size wise.

We just got dumped on here with snow up here in Canada, and I have found the stock tires for the 22's to be adequate with snow.  Obviously not as good as a snow tire like a blizzak, but they do the job.  However, with ice, they are just garbage!

I swapped out my  Bridgestone Aleza`s for some 285/50/22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers  much better tire.

Do those fit on the Sierra with no rubbing or trimming? Have been looking at these too. Thanks!

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
