Denali Stock Wheels with A/T Tires

[DenaliCountry]

Hi all - considering ditching my 20" wheel setup with BFG's and going back to the stock 22" Denali Wheels with a stock size A/T tire. Anyone have any pics with the stock Denali wheels with A/T tires? I am looking at the Continental Terrain Contact A/T tires (put these on my wife's GC a while back and they are great tires) and the Toyo AT 3's but open to other options like Nitto Ridge Grapplers, etc. Would like to keep the stock size tire 275/50/22.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks all, for the photos. I went ahead and got a set of the Continental Terrain Contact AT Tires in 275/50R22. Very happy that I pulled the trigger. The ride difference from the BFG's is incredible. The new tires (as well as the stock tires) are almost 20#'s lighter than the BFG's. The ride dynamics are unbelievably different. They look great too and are equally as quiet and smooth as the Bridgestones were. This is an XL tire as well VS the Bridgestones which are an SL. It's actually surprising they even put an SL tire on these big a$$ rigs. Ordered some black lettered GMC wheel caps and some blackout corners to clean things up a bit. I really love the look and ride.

I did the same tires, have about 4,000 miles on them so far. Handled everything I can throw at them and they're still nice and quiet.

Nice to see someone else with positive feedback on these! I put these on my wifes grand cherokee a few years ago and have always been really happy with the tire, they just didn't have a wide variety of sizes back then but seems they are expanding.

Are those the LED corner markers or the stock ones with tint film?

Tasteful debadge on the sides, Sir. Any plans to black out the grille or trim?

Thank you! I like my cars to be free from badges lol. I have gone back and forth about getting rid of the silver trim and grille. If I did anything I would do something similar to this Denali on saw on social media. I would like to keep the stock wheels since I already did the aftermarket thing and the ride changed quite a bit and not in a good way. So I'd probably go with a few shades darker on the trim to make it more charcoal colored and then paint the grille to match.

That'll be a good look. Looks like the one in the pic had the grille trim body-colored.

They're LED cheapy ones from Amazon, but have held up great so far.

I have tried many other AT tires over the years but the BFG AT K02 are my favourite. 295/50R22 on stock Denali wheel with no rubbing.

I agree, I love the KO2's look and overall handling. However, the weight of those tires altered the ride dynamics to a point it was noticeable - rode really firm, 2+ MPG loss, road noise was excessive, etc. (I must be getting old lol).

Are those still a load range D or E?

Stock suspension height?

Stock suspension height?

They should fit with Stock suspension. Before I downsized to 275/60/20 tires, I had 295/60/20 Toyo AT3's which is a slightly taller tire than his setup and they fit with stock suspension.

I would need to check mine as the KO2's have load ranges from C, D and E depending on the tire size. I stopped looking at the MPG because with the 6.2L, the tires and my aggressive driving style the MPG is just crazy bad. Yes, they are firm compared to the stock tires but on my previous truck I went through a set of Cooper AT's, Yokohama AT's and 2 sets of the BFG KO2 and IMO the KO2 were quieter, rode smoother and most importantly for me a better snow tire. It is still not as good as a dedicated snow tire, but a huge difference over the other snow-rated AT tires.

Yes, stock suspension with no cutting or rubbing. I would like to get a level kit as I don't like the front rake but having trouble finding a level kit that works with the Magneride suspension.

Like the Continentals Terrain Contact A/T. Just installed on my 2023 Yukon Denali. See my post earlier today.

This is why I went with the Continental Terrain Contact A/T. They are XL load rated and are very highly rated in wet, dry and snowy conditions. A smooth and quiet road tire with good All Terrain features.

They look great. Awesome tires. I have had these on my suburban for over 15 years. Can I ask what you paid for these after mounting balancing etc? I was quoted $2390 when I was looking to replace my stock tires, so I went with Yokohama Geolanders which were $1825. But I would have preferred the KO2's
