Here is my take..
Set-Up is Max Trailering Package, 275/55/20 Continentals, Auto-ride



I went thru the ride issue where I felt a vibration when going above 65 and in some instances.. suspension felt out of whack even at low speeds if hit even the slightest imperfection in the road.. this was AFTER.. I went to the dealer for an Oil Change and Tire Rotation where they also added air to my tires.. 35psi.. which is the recommended. I then commenced in dropping them back to where I was before I took it in.. 33PSI all around and the vehicle rides as smooth as a Caddy now. No vibration, not roughness.

I have the same set up in my 2016 SLE...including the same wheel/tire combo. Mine is the SLE model with no sun roof. I has a bit of perceptible buffeting at about 50~55 when I am in V4 mode. I have AFM turned off via my Diablo Tune...now it's smooth as silk from 0-125+. I am running 35 PSI all 4...very smooth and quiet.

I switched from the factory Bridgestone dueler alenzas that were on my 2006 Denali when I bought it to Michelin premier LTX A/T2 and the difference was night and day! Love my Michelin tires.

As far as I'm concerned and based on decades of experience...the Michelin LTX A/T2 and it's predecessor the LTX A/T are the best tires on the planet for a SUV or Light truck. I have run several sets of those tires on Tahoe's, GM and Ford 4 x 4 pick ups for over 25 years. They are the best...period !!

Is the buffeting related to the ear oressure
Agreed. I lease all my vehicles through my business; does not make sense owning. So I am less concerned than others about first year issues. My infotainment screen is glitchy also and it lurches hard when shifting into drive/reverse when the transmission is cold. They fixed a bad cable in the infotainment console that was causing the screen to go black occasionally.
Besides these issues, and due to the fact that I carry no sentimental value to vehicles due to leasing, I really love this truck!
is the buffeting related to the ear pressure situation. Will the afm disable correct the pressure also
