Anybody else get the 20s on their Denali?

We test drove both sizes on the same day. Same dealership, same loop. The 20s were WAY smoother. I’m a geezer. Don’t really care about looks. I just want the Yukon to do its job: tow the boat, road trips. It does both beautifully.
20's are the way to go. That's why ordered my 2022 Premier with 20's rather than the High Country that only came with 22's.

Getting 22’s on a suv that will see any potholes are dirt is silly.
I am looking to get 19’ with snow tires for the winter and swap them.


I would take them in midnight blue to match the car, but still looking at costs.

Traded 21’ (kept the rims) with OEM AT4 20” rims and Duratrac goodness:

That looks excellent and I'm trying to find someone who has Onyx black with the AT4 rims.

Question for those who have ordered premium capability which comes with 22's... Was your dealer able to remove the 22's and ship only with the interim wheels and then order a set of AT4 rims to put on? I'd instantly be putting Michelin LTX A/T2's on. Yes it's an LT tire but they handle like a dream.

I ordered my 22 Denali with the 22" SF2 wheel option ($3500). It came with 20" standard polished aluminum. Dealer told me I would be lucky to see the 22"'s by the end of the year and maybe then some.Searched online and found New, the exact wheel with Bridgestones. Called the shop and they not only were willing to switch the tires to Michelin LTX/MS they also gave me a trade-in on the 20's with Continentals.Went back to the dealer and got my wheel package refunded,the new tires/wheels were already mounted and spun with tpm's and best part- put money back in my pocket:D:D Here's pic

I just don't get the connection between what GM calls the "Premium capability package with active response 4WD" and 22" wheels... It seems on the online config builder I am paying a $3,865 penalty for rims/tires which are less capable than the 20's. The first dealer I talked to said the config is what is it and that was that, I walked out.

Perhaps this is also why I'm also deciding between sending my 09' 2500 into the body shop for a complete refurb or a new Denali.

The factory 20’s look silly on a Denali…..IMO. Next to nobody wants them or goes that direction. I feel like it’s a budget move by GM.

Now to me 22s look silly on these vehicles. I prefer the 18s i will get on mine. To each their own.
