First time GM owner Suburban 2020

[OR VietVet]

The tread on the sidewalls really help in deeper snow. I have ran Goodyear tires many times. Had them in the snow and ice in KC, Mo.

thx I really appreciate the advice, I’m aware that it will affect the fuel economy. The problem is that winter is approaching and here in Quebec we need to run winter tires or hybrids all terrain. I don’t want last minute surprises nor run oem size tires to latter down the road upgrade to 33s which will end up costing more long term IMO.My plan is to run 33s right off the bat for the winter season and switch to my oem 22s for the summer.




thx I will as soon as I get the chance Boss!

here’s a pic of my fuel economy. Is this normal?

Why can’t the manufacturers give us the international symbols for the fuel gauge?

Did you ask the manufacturer? If so, what did they say?

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Depending on what terrains you plan to drive your truck will also determine what tires are best for you for the entire year. If your driving is going to be predominantly on paved surfaces, I recommend that you check out the Michelin Defenders. These tires have very long tread life, and they handle the road well in all weather conditions. I use them in NH winters, and I've never had a problem getting from point A to point B.

Regarding wheel/tire combinations that will fit your truck without rubbing, no 2 trucks and their suspensions are exactly alike, due to a number of factors including accumulated wear on the suspension components, so there is no guarantee that what fits with no rubbing on one truck will automatically fit with no rubbing on your truck. Other folks experiences can guide you in one direction or another, but the final test will be when you mount the wheel/tire combination on your own truck.

To assist you in getting a good idea on whether or not specific alternate wheel/tire combinations 'may' fit your truck with no rubbing, I recommend that you use the wheel/tire comparison app at the URL listed below. You can use this app starting with your existing wheel/tire combination as a benchmark, assuming that there are currently no rubbing issues with it, and measure the actual critical fender and suspension component clearances as directed by this app. Then, you can enter alternate wheel/tire combinations, and this app will give you the projected changes in these critical fender and suspension component clearances. This app will also give you an idea of how much the tire will extend beyond, or into, the fender.

https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/

I used this app for determining whether on not I could use my current alternate wheel/tire combination, and it accurately projected the changes in critical clearances. Again, the use of this app in not an absolute guarantee that an alternate wheel/tire combination will fit without rubbing, but it provides a much better assessment, or projection, than simply an educated guess on your part, or a statement from others that it worked on a truck other than yours.

Hello everybody!

I’m a proud new owner of a 2020 suburban LS and first time owner of a new gm vehicle . I come from a 2 door coupe civic si for daily driving. I’m a father of 3 children and me and wifey needed something bigger and something that would tackle ANYTHING! That’s where the suburban came into the picture.

Now I’m planning in modding it a “bit”. I purchased a suspension Maxx leveling kit going for the 2.5 front lift and maybe the 1.5 rear spacer. I’m going to try installing 33s. I ordered 275/70r18 E WRL DURATRACs with fuel assault 18x9 +19 wheels. I’m having second thoughts on the offset of wheels, thinking going more negative like -12 or -13 for that concave look and aggressive stance. They guy at store said I’ll be in the “hella flush “ stance with the current set up.What do you guys and gals think? Am I on the right path to change the offset to a negative? What kind of “trouble” am I looking at to fit negative offset? Thx in advance.

Greetings from Canada!
