I just picked up my new Silverado 1500 Crew Cab LTZ 4x4, love it and have whopping 85 miles on it!

I have the 20 inch wheels and tires, and driving in the ice and snow here in AK, they suck.

I have found a few sets of 17 inchers on craigslist so I can throw some snow tires on, but what is the deal with the Tire pressure monitoring system? What wheels are compatible? Hardcore chevy guy that I am, I have not done this research and know little about it. My last one was an '04 2500HD and didn't have it...

Thanks!

Those systems suck. Just fixed the flat by using the full spare on the Jeep. d**n light for the tire sensor will not go off. Good luck and post what you find!

Thats a good point....I bet the spare doesnt have the sensor...I never thought about that.

yea, the spare wheel/tire do not have the tire pressuer monitor system stem. i found this out the hard way as i wanted some some good snow tires and didnt want to run thru winter with the factory 20's. i boguth the wheels and tires put em on my truck and the darn DIC said tpms error. this isnt something you can turn off! my dealer ewanted $65 bucks for each stem! @ wholesale price was slightly better art $45 a pop.

 

i got the part number thru them and went onto GM Parts direct.com. their special internet price was $32 each. plus about $30 to ship em to my door. better deal but had to wait abotu a week for them. sears installed them free for me.

 

my truck was programmed to run the tire pressure at 35 psi (factory 20's) when i put on my new winter tires and rims with the TPMS stems i had to make sure i didnt run the psi's in the tires more 5 psi over the 35 set in the computer, or will set off the error. dealer can reporgram it, but i didnt both. come spring i put the 20's back one. plus my winter tires can run at 35 psi to 65 safely. (80 psi max)

Okay, thanks.

I did the research and found the wheel sensors for $30 each. I found some 17 inch stock aluminum rims for $250 and will get some snow tires mounted up (not sure what size). I am sure these 20s will be sweet on the pavement once I actually see some around April :D

Well I lucked out. I found a guy with a new '08 who went and bought some very nice 17s and new Good Years and mounted them on his truck. The TPMS went wild and he went back to the tire shop, they told him he was out of luck, and to live with it. He put his stock wheels back on and sold me everything for $300!!! I kept my mouth shut, came home, researched the GM part number and snagged 4 brand new sensors on Ebay for $80. I love these 20s but the 265/75r17 Good Years will do much better in all this winter I have here. The 20s will go back on in April, thanks for all the help!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
