New 23 Tahoe here...Tire Question

[mrhp]

Wife just made an appointment for window tint, and I am entertaining building a custom exhaust.

 

[mrhp]

Just rolled into Nashville. 20 mpg at 75-85 mph, loaded with 4 people and lots of gear. I’m good with that!

 

[mrhp]

Rolled back 850 miles. 19.4 mpg.

 

[mrhp]

Windows getting tinted today. Might get new tires on today as well.

 

[mrhp]

Windows done. Tires not on yet, ran out of time.

 

[mrhp]

Tires on hold until my wife gets back from Boston. Bummer.

 

[mrhp]

Hoe should be back for Monday. Tires soon to follow.

Tint and tires! I do believe the tires are about 1/2 inch shorter than the Alenzas. Not a big issue for me, as they look really good. Just wanted to let everybody know. Quite happy with the look. Will post an update after we get some miles on it.

New update, tires ride good. Got the first door ding in the r.r. quarter panel above the wheel well. F-ing careless people. Now to find a paintless dent removal shop.

Hey man, im in the same boat as you were, new 23 with the Bridgestones. What brand/tire size did you go with and how do you like them? Any issue with rubbing or gas milage?

Thanks in advance,
V/r Jason

Just drove the Toyos on my Tahoe in snow and ice, they did well. Drove my buddies Tahoe with the Alenzas, not worth a shit.

9700 miles on the Tahoe. Tires are great, nice and quiet, and no rub ever. Just got back from Florida, and all went well except it stalled at a yield while I was going 5-10 mph. It shifted into neutral and the dash said to push the start button. I coasted off to the side of the road, put it in park and restarted it. Never happened again on the trip. Half tank of fuel, and was up to temp. A bit nervous about it happening again.

You over on WTJF too?

Looks for one, and I can tell by the tread the winter traction will be poor. I am looking for an aggressive all terrain tire. I am not a fan of being stuck in 3 feet of snow.

If you are looking to survive winter, get some snow tires. I just put Blizzaks on a set of Sierra 20” takeoffs, and this beast is awesome in the snow and ice now.

And, yes, the stock Alenza AS02 tires are awful in the snow, and marginal in the wet.

WTJF? Not sure what that is.

Toyo at III I have are great so far in ice,slush, and snow. No regrets at all.
