New tires

[Chevygirl32]

I ended up going with the Goodyear Eagle GT all weather. They cost me $900.00 tho. I won't be getting new rims anytime soon. but my tires from the factory did last me until 46,000 miles tho, I guess that's why they use those same tires on the state trooper vehicles. But I was not paying $300 a tire for them.

Mine comes with Bridegestone Dueler, they last about 45k miles. The garage gives me a set of ****ty Marshalls KR-21 ... they last 3k miles LOL

Now I have Yokohama Avid TRZ for summer and Pirelli Wintercarving for winter

 

[Chevygirl32]

Why two sets of tires? Why not just one pair of all seasons?? Thank god I only need one set. Lol.

Because there is a law in Quebec and I think accross the Canada that from December 15th to March 15th you need to have winter tires.

The good thing is that I've paid 125$ for the set of Pirelli lol

 

[Chevygirl32]

Weird law. Lol. But that is a good price for Pirelli's tho.

 

[prheaume]

We had them for a while at the dealership, not exactly the right size but it fit! eace:

What size tires? That is as much as I'm going to pay for my trucks tire and a little less than what we paid for the tires on our 08 Acadia.

I called all over the place. Getting Michelin LTX M/S2's in an LT265/75-16 for $975.80 from Sam's club. This includes mounting, balancing, new valve stems and road hazard warranty. Sam's was by far the least expensive from all the places I called. This also included the $70 rebate from Michelin.

Just four years ago I put BFG All Terrains on it for only $600. The price of tires has gone sky high. At least I got 65k miles out of them.

 

[Chevygirl32]

Wow! 65k! I better get that much out of my new ones.

 

[Chevygirl32]

My dealership also gave me a competitors discount cause Goodyear tire company had a better price.

Trailblazers are badass for the brakes. My uncle have a 07 from his job. He works for the government as an inspector for the wood quality. He needs to travel the whole Canada 2 or 3 times a year lol

Every 5 year he gets a new truck, he just changed his trailblazer. 275 000 km in 5 years, only one set of disc and brake pads. Only normal maintenance have been done on that truck. After these 5 years, they gave him a brand new Chevy Traverse. Should have negociate this when I was hired... lol

We might get 100k out of the tires on our nox

Just installed new Michelin LTX M/S'2 on my Silverado. All I can say is WOW! So much better ride than my BFG All Terrains. Well worth the cost. If they come in your size for the Equinox, I would highly recommend them. Rides softer, no noise and handles great.

What is the fuel mileage like? I would think it has improved over the BFG's

Right now I don't know. I will be going to Pa. this week and will find out for sure how much the mileage has changed if any. I know the quieter ride will be nice. :waytogo:
