Stock Goodyear SR-As were still OK at 36K miles but we're about to do some serious mileage and I figured this was a good time to get a set of A/Ts.
Turns out Discount Tire & Big O couldn't get these - they were on national backorder so I got them from Tire Rack. Paid $176.55 each plus $68.96 for shipping. Mounted & road force balanced by Discount Tire.
P275/60/20 => 60K mile warranty (as opposed to LTs, which only get 45K miles); they also include severe snow service (mountain snowflake symbol)
Initial impressions (approx 200 miles):
- Slightly more noise than SR-As, most noticeable around 45 mph. My wife cannot tell the difference.
- Small bumps are more pronounced than the SR-As but the large bumps are less pronounced, which is counter intuitive and somewhat weird.
- Even though they're only 4 pounds per tire heavier than the SR-As, there has definitely been a negative mpg impact of 1 or 2 mpg and maybe a 0.5s (butt dyno) negative impact to 0-60. Hopefully this improves over time.
- Haven't had them out on the rocks or sand yet but the dry, street, straight line traction is definitely better than the SR-As. Haven't been able to chirp them on heavy accereration.
- Gripes: fast, sweeping turns (admittedly not a designed use case for a full-size 4x4 truck) are "squirrely." The SR-As always delivered very smooth, predictable handling on those freeway cloverleafs but the G015s make the truck feel less planted.
More to come as the miles wear on.
