What tires should I get for my Suburban?

The 2022 Chevrolet Suburban uses 265/65R18SL, 275/50R22 or 265/65R18 tires. The size for your Suburban’s tires can be found in the sidewall of your OEM tires or the inside frame of the driver size door. If you’re unfamiliar with how to read tire sizes, follow these simple steps:

1. If there is a letter at the beginning, that indicates the intended use. P indicates passenger, LT indicates light truck, T indicates temporary, and ST indicates special trailer.
2. The following three digits are the width of the tire in millimeters.
3. After the slash is the aspect ratio, which is the height-to-width measurement. For example, if the size aspect ratio is 65, that means the tire is 65% as high as it is wide.
4. The next letter is the construction code. This is indicated by either R or D. R means radial ply construction, and D means diagonal or bias ply construction.
5. The next number is the rim diameter. This is the diameter of the wheel in inches.
6. If there is a letter at the very end, this is the service description, or the load index and speed rating of the tire.

You can also always ask your Service Advisor at Dan Cummins Auto Group to find the correct tire size for your Suburban.

What type of tires should I purchase?

The type of tires you should purchase depends on what you need your tires to do. If you drive mostly in normal conditions, on highway roads, all-season tires would be the best choice. For example, unless you regularly go off-roading, all-season tires are great for Lexington roads.
But what if we have a snowy, icy winter? If that’s the case, winter tires would be beneficial. Winter tires have deep groves that help you to drive easier in snowy conditions.
We recommend consulting with your service advisor to pick the best tires for your needs.

How long should tires last on a Suburban?

With proper care and maintenance, your tires should last between 60,000 to 75,000 miles, which is about 4 to 5 years if you drive an average of 15,000 miles per year. Without proper maintenance, this lifespan could be a lot shorter. We suggest that you consult with an expert service advisor at Dan Cummins Auto Group to work out a tire maintenance schedule to help your tires last as long as possible.

How do I check my Suburban’s tire’s pressure?

You should check the tire pressure at least once a month using a tire gauge. If you leave tires unchecked, they can deflate and lead to uneven wear and less gas mileage. Overinflated tires can lead to unusual wear, a rough ride, more damage from road hazards, and poor handling.
Check the Tire and Loading Information label on your Suburban (look for its location in your Owner’s Manual) to see the OEM tires and the recommended tire pressures.
To check and adjust the tire pressure, follow these steps:

1. Take the cap off the air valve on the tire and set it aside.
2. Press the gauge onto the valve to get a measurement. For manual gauges, a dial will point to the pressure on a bar. If you’re using a digital gauge, the pressure will appear on the screen.
   1. No further adjustments are required if the pressure meets the recommended pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label.
   2. If the pressure is low, add air until the recommended pressure is reached.
   3. If the pressure is high, press on the metal stem in the center of the tire valve to release air.
3. Put the tire’s air valve cap back on.
4. Repeat this again for each tire.

You can also ask your service technician to do this as part of your next maintenance appointment.

Why should I get my Chevrolet Suburban’s tires rotated?

Tire rotations are essential to maintaining your tires. Tire rotation in the process of moving your tires from wheel to wheel in a pattern. When you drive your Suburban, its tires on the front and rear axles perform at different loads and operate with different steering, driving, and braking. This leads to uneven wear, decreasing the longevity of your tires. Tire rotations will help to even out the tread on your tires, helping your Suburban to have a smooth ride, enhanced safety, improved fuel economy, and increased longevity of your tires. This is especially true on tires with more complicated tread designs, such as all-season tires. To schedule a tire rotation in Paris, click here, or in Georgetown, click here.

How often should I get my Suburban’s tires rotated?

A good rule of thumb is to get a tire rotation every time you come to Dan Cummins Auto Group for an oil change, or every 5,000 miles.
