2005 Tahoe Z71 4x4. 4.8 LR4 LS with a 4L60E and 3.42 rear end. 292k on the body, about 175k on the motor and 150k on the trans. I have been easy driving and getting anywhere from 17-18 MPG out of this wasted relic and am pretty pleased.
I currently am running a like new set of 265/70/17 General AmeriTrac TR on some god-awful ugly GMC wheels. I am giving these to my Dad. I have the stock Z71 wheels that I want to put one tire on and run year round.
I do see fair amount of snow and winter weather come the season. I am leaning towards the General Grabber ATX but curious if you all would come to a consensus that this tire will drastically hurt my MPG. I do not hate these AmericTrac but don't see them as being a super aggressive tire come slippery season.
Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks.
