Same price to buy 15" alloy wheels and then 195/65/15's as it was to just buy the replacement low profile 17's. From then on you can buy the much more popular (and thus cheaper) 195/65/15's for the life of the car.
Trying to find what rims (hopefully nothing real fancy/expensive) might be able to work on a friends 2010 Acadia with 255/65/18 that would fit over brake calipers, have the same offset, etc.
Couldn't find anything here with search where anyone had tried this - or more accurately found something that would work.
Anyone else researched this?
Question: Has anyone else had habitually flat tires on their Acadia???? Thanks

I have almost 60K on the original tires, Goodyear RSA 255-60-19.
I've been quoted $851.00 to replace all 4 with the same tires.
Is there are more quiet, easy riding tire I should be shopping for?
I have 19" tires on my Acadia, dropping to the 18" will be ok? From what I see through these posts? Just want to make sure I understand this completely.
Thanks!

But, with the same outside diameter, you'd be riding on 1/2" more sidewall with an 18" tire/rim.. That's significant, and could improve your ride..

Iam normally cheap but with tires, I go the other way, I want the best. Wife drives Acadia most the time.
Have to be honest, on first set of Goodyears, I plugged the sidewall, and then had patched from inside and gave to a guy who put on Ford F150 and he got many more miles on them before trading vehicles.
I know there are a lot of messages on here about brands of tires/types, but has anyone recently purchased tires that they are happy with? Too many messages to go through and kinda of confusing because there are so many.
There are a few that mention Michelins and Hancook.
I'm considering purchasing the Bridgestone Alenza (65,000 mile warranty). When I asked I asked Costco, American Tire and Discount Tire, they all recommended the Bridgestone over the Michelins.
I have a 2009 GMC Acadia, have 48,000 miles on original GY tires and it's time to replace tires ASAP.
Thanks for the advice.
Why?
Ranked no. ! in its category

You can compare here and note that the top 3 of 5 tires are from Michelin
Comparison
Course YMMV!
I was told that the Latitude Tour in that size was due out in January. Right now they only have the X-Ice snow tire. The LTX MS2 tires have also got good reviews.
I have a 2007 that I bought with 25k on it. Its got 60k now and I'm on my second set of Good Year's. The tires are a nail magnet and driving me crazy.......

You can see which tires provide what you are looking for.
Once a vehicle is outside of the Bumper to Bumper warranty period, any other coverage would fall to the tire manufacturer. If you had wanted for us to look into this from our end, however, we can be reached at socialmedia@gm.com (include the last 8 digits of your VIN and your contact information).

OE tires - the ones that come from the factory on your truck - do NOT have a mileage warranty. 2 reasons for that.
1) The car factory doesn't buy the mileage warranty. (It also doesn't buy any road hazard warranty either). The car factory only buys the bare bones warranty from the tire manufacturer, which only covers the structural integrity of the tire - not how many miles you get from them.
2) The tires are designed by the vehicle manufacturer - that is, the vehicle manufacturer has specs that have to be met - and among those specs is a requirement for rolling resistance. Improved rolling resistance is done by sacrificing treadwear and/or traction (especially wet traction). That's why so many OE tires have wear and traction complaints. A common complaint about replacement tires is that there is a fuel economy hit when they are applied. Unfortunate, but it is the way this works.
Second, another few thousand miles and you'll be outside GM's 36K warranty period, so don't wait. Go to your GM dealer and see what they say.
DO NOT get new tires and THEN go to the GM dealer to work out an arrangement. Make the arrangement BEFORE - and make sure the GM dealer is completely in the loop.
There is a pro-rata coverage table that I have here that breaks down coverage if it is a 2011 vehicle. If we can check into this further with you, please contact us at socialmedia@gm.com (include your name and contact information, a summary of the situation, the last 8 of your VIN and mileage, and the name of your preferred dealership).

Discussed tire brands that their Acadia customers are having better luck with. Was told it is all over the board, but many are satisfied with the Continental CrossContact ($70 more on 4 than the Fortera SilentArmor). Any one experienced with this tire?
Visited a tire center to inquire what they are expereincing with Acadia tires and they liked Michelin Latitude Tour or the Cooper TPS (70K milege warrenty and $60 less on 4 than the Fortera). Any one have experience with the Cooper TPS?

I am again experiencing uneven wear (after careful tire rotation every 5-6k miles, and balance checks). My tires also seem to come unbalanced easily and cause a rough ride. Have others had to get tire balances often?
Dave
I apologize for the tire wear you are experiencing. I understand how this can be frustrating, especially after hearing back what you did from the dealer. I would like to look into this situation for you. Please contact me by Email at socialmedia(at)gm.com. Include your contact information, VIN and current mileage. I look forward to hearing from you so we can work towards a resolution.

I was thinking I know I bought this vehicle in August of 2010 just couldn't remember the date. Finally found the contract. Purchase date: 8/27/2010. Made it by 5 days. Unless of course this is covered under the limited powertrain warranty.
That was a little too close for comfort. Also roadside assist had it towed to the closest GMC dealer and not the one I purchased from. We'll see how that works out.
We're glad that you made it to the dealership for your water pump issue. I'd be happy to check into any additional bulletins or warranty information for you. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us by email. Please include your VIN and mileage and our contact is socialmedia@gm.com [attn Amber].

Then again who knows what they were thinking as if I were them I would repair only what was required the get the vehicle back on the road and hope that I take it back to the selling dealer to have the rack replaced. We all know that the dealerships don't make much if anything performing warranty work due to GM's ridiculous labor times.
Am I missing something here?
Yes. The vehicle I'm referring to is a 2010 Acadia with 5 days left on the 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty period. The water pump would be covered under the 5/100 powertrain warranty but not the rack.
Since they documented the leak within the 3/36 GM will usually warrant it even though I have it scheduled with the selling dealer outside of the 3/36 by one day. When I state usually it comes down to the dealer whether or not they choose to do so.
I am more than happy to look into this for you. I would like for you to contact me via email at socialmedia(at)gm.com. In the message please include your full contact information, VIN, current mileage and the name and location of the dealer you are working with. I look forward to hearing from you.
