But, there's a difference.  If you read, the OP has a Denali which I surmise has 22's. Agressive 22's will ride like a Cat D9. Take my word.

There's not much of a difference as I have a High Country w/ 22's. My Nitto T/G's ride just as well and very minimal noise difference but looked way better and handled the rain and snow way better. I ran 305/45/22 so a little wider but basically the same height.

i dont understand the concern for noise if you wanna run aggressive tires.....if you live in snow its already a noisy ride (turn radio up, lol)....grip and performance is the key when driving in those conditions........and when did noise from offroad tires even become a thing?....remember when peeps ran them becasue of that beautiful hummm they make.....

 

i would actually prefer it over smooth tires even on dry pavement but ive never owned a car really so its all i know......

For ride, pay attention to the specs. Most aggressive tires are E rated where a P or SL or XL rated will ride better...but because they are not as strong. I am happy with the Generals ATX but does have some wine around 35-60 mph which does not bother me. A less aggressive all-terrain tire like the Firestone AT2 with a solid(ish) tread strip and less side tread design will be quieter. Many have a trial period so you can go that route if needed.

It's all in the taste. If I spend 40-50k on a truck I want a smooth quiet ride. I love my Michelin 22 street tires. I don't go offroading, snow or mud riding. Most people get Grapplers because it "looks" agressive.  I know several friends with lifted trucks, aggressive tires with black rattle can looking wheels who've never been off road or have a nick or ding on the truck.  Any reason 🤔 and that goes for a big majority.  Sound familiar? If you don't care about road noise and like hard agressive tires then maybe a '77 Bronco with Co Op's is an option. It's all good 👍

I run BFG KO2's and they ride great. They are quiet and have a very soft ride quality. Much more traction as well. Whatever qualities the factory tires had I don't miss. And you can't beat the classic aggressive look of the KO2's. I'd never turn back! I like quiet, soft & smooth and these tires cover all those bases. The size I'm running is 305/65/18 with a 4.5" lift.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
