GMC tyre tips
- Yukon Denali models on 22-inch wheels need careful kerb clearance in basement car parks because the rims scuff easily.
- Sierra AT4 trims use all-terrain tyres from the factory; replacing them with highway tyres improves road noise but reduces sand grip.
- On full-size GMC SUVs, a load index of 116 or higher is a sensible minimum for a fully loaded family trip.
Common factory tyres on GMC: Goodyear, Bridgestone, Michelin, Continental.

When to replace the tyres
Most SUV tyres last 35,000–55,000 km in the UAE. Heavy SUVs wear tyres faster, especially if pressures are allowed to drop. Replace at about five years regardless of tread, and check the spare as well.
Compact SUVs typically need a load index of 100–104 with H or V rating. Large SUVs such as the Land Cruiser, Patrol and LX need 110–116, often with S, T or H rating on H/T and A/T tyres. Many European SUVs specify XL tyres. Never go below the placard load index on a heavy SUV.
