One more try.

I'm between a Denali with or without the reserve package.

With reserve gets you the standard 22" wheels which I like, with all season tires that I also like.

Without gets you 20" wheels that I don't like as much, and a t tires which I really don't want.

My concerns, which I think are probably not a big deal would be weight, handling effect if any, etc.

Or any other cons people may have.

Thx for the input.

I bought a refreshed High Country with 22" ealier this year and I will not do that again. Ride is okay with good pavement, but its not as smooth as my previous truck (20"). 

 

Another thing is to consider is braking distance. I feel it has increased as well as having to apply more pressure when braking. 

 

Don't get me wrong, 22" wheels look great but the trade off is not there for me. Will probably look at swapping to 20" whenever I need new tires.

This is the type of info/opinion I was looking for, and it's a definite concern of mine.

I'm disappointed that non reserve Denali comes with 20" A T, and reserve comes with 22" all season.

What I'd like is 20" all season.

 

Was also wondering if the Denali suspension overcomes some of the issue of going with a 22" wheel.

For what its worth, I was in the same dilemma as you on my 2023 Denali order I ended up choosing the Technology Package + power steps instead of the Reserve package. I didn't want the sunroof and I didn't want the 22" wheels. The 20's seem more practical to me. My gut also said they would ride better (many years driving BMW cars.)

 

I just picked up the truck and am very pleased with the ride and the lack of road noise with the AT tires. They are Goodyear Wrangler. No idea how well they will wear, but they are quiet like a street tire. 

 

Looks are subjective and we can't answer that for you. But I would have no hesitation ordering the 20's again for real world use.

I have a 2021 Denali Ultimate (now called Reserve) and I had a 2017 that was the same thing. No problem with the 22 inches for me and I live in Michigan were its winter from Nov-Apr.  I would never buy a Denali without 22's.  IMO its rides very well, I drove an AT4 and it road like a buck-board compared to my truck. I also got optional gloss black wheels , were on the truck when I bought it from stock.

Note::I had the wheel arch molding replaced with painted ones to match the truck (after this pic was taken). Looks so much better than the flat black.

My last truck was a Denali with 22’s. The ride was great. I had no complaints. You will barely notice a difference switching to 20’s. The weight is negligible for ride. Only the sidewall makes any difference. The 22’s will handle better while the 20’s will have a very slightly better ride. 22’s look MUCH better. Just watch out for curbs.

I have the 22's on my Denali. They feel great. I've had 20's on previous Sierra's. I can't feel any noticeable difference. As someone said, Watch out for the curbs.

Just saw this old thread that I started.

FWIW, I got the Denali with reserve/22" wheels and I'm very happy with it.

Thx for the responses.

I had 22 on my 2016 GMC and hit something on the road and damaged two wheels and rims.  Over $3K  just to replace two.   Only get 20's on my trucks since.  Way more options even buying used OEM then finding 22's

 

Just my 2 cents.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
