better tires for my new 2023 Yukon Denali

[Jocko PDX]

I ended up selling the stock 22’s, didn’t want to mess with the overall diameter of the tires. I got the generic RST 20’s take offs and wrapped them with the Vredestein Pinza A/T since TireRack has some good reviews on them.

-So far they have been solid in the rain.
-20’s have way more tire options. The Defenders were the other contender.
-I think low profiles are just silly.

Compared to the stock Bridgestones I think they ride about the same. Can’t notice road noise. The only thing I can maybe say is that they transfer more road feel after about 75MPH. That or they were poorly balanced. But that same feel is not noticeable on a smooth concrete freeway.

If anyone has these Pinza tires pleas feel free to share your thoughts. These are my first set of A/T’s. Here they are the day they were mounted.

I'm in ND, lots of snow and ice.

The last few trucks I've swapped out the factory tires for BFG AT KO2's at delivery; zero complaints. Also running a set of Wildpeaks on the kids Jeep (didn't get the KO2's due to sizing issue).

Ram ecoDiesel just did 82k miles on a set of the KO2's.
Wife's '21 Denali XL has 30k on a set of KO2's right now.

I'd go either KO2 or Wildpeak over the LTX's for ice/snow. I like the KO2 better then the Wildpeak for road noise. Rotate any of these choices every 10k at minimum.

I ran the BFG K02's on my suburban for 20 years I love them, but they are not available in any size for this rim apparantly

You gotta go KO2 in the 295/50R22

I had Cooper SRX and scrapped them halfway through their life. Terrible tires in the snow especially compared to Michelin LTX.

all the shops are saying this tire won't fit...

In KO2 land the 295/50R22 is 33.7" tall
A typical 295/50R22 is 32.9" tall

Wife's '21 has BA AT KO's in 275/60R20's which are also 32.9"; but their is a pile of room.

What specifically are the shops saying rubs? It's .8 of an inch.

A 295/50/22 is a 33.6” tire when calculating the math. Bfg’s are notorious for measuring less than advertised, so i would assume they are barely 33’s.
