New user and new to Tahoe Ownership / Very reactive steering

If you still feel like the steering is crisper than you prefer, there is an adjustment for the steering shaft that will let you add a little slop in.

Have you replaced the ball joints yet? I notice that your vehicle is a year older than mine. My '03 Tahoe needed that a while back to reduce play in the steering. I have 331,000 miles now but that was back maybe in the 225,000 mile range.

Actually, he was expressing that his steering was too sensitive, based on what he is used to.

Offset changed.

Check the wear of the steering components and then make an allignement. If the caster and/or toe is out of specs, you can have this behavier.

+1 vote for checking the alignment, I had this behavior and my alignment was toe-out. This also including having some wandering at highway speeds.

Welcome from Texas! Just want to pile on the suggestion to get a proper alignment. I don’t think the size of tires will make that big a difference in the handling, it’s a pretty minimal change.
