When To Replace Tires


The two things that affect tires are time and mileage. Naturally, the compounds on tires have a limited lifespan as they begin to breakdown over time. The mileage on a tire is only a general indication of it’s wear and usage. Neither time nor mileage are accurate indicators of a tire’s usability. The reason for that is because factors such as tire storage and care can improve or diminish lifespan. Typically most tires are manufactured to last at least five years under normal circumstances. If your tires are older than 5 years, it may be a good idea to consider replacements.

How To Read GMC Canyon Tires


Reading the sidewall and understand tire sizing options can seem difficult at first. Once you learn the basics of what these numbers and markings mean, it becomes much simpler. Oftentimes original equipment tires use standard sizing designations, such as 255/70R17. However, when upgrading tires, especially for the GMC Canyon, you may come across flotation sizing designations. These will typically read as 35×12.50R17.

FAQ


What are the factory tire sizes for my GMC Canyon?

The factory tire sizes vary depending on your Canyon's generation and trim level. For the 2015-2022 GMT31XX Canyon, common sizes include 265/70R16, 255/65R17, 265/65R17, 265/60R18, 265/55R19, and 255/55R20. The third-generation 2023+ Canyon uses similar sizing ranges but may vary by specific trim package. At Rolling Big Power, we stock replacement tires in all these factory sizes and can help you identify the exact size for your specific Canyon model and year.

Can I upgrade to larger tires on my Canyon without modifications?

Yes, but it depends on your current setup and desired tire size. For stock suspension Canyon models, you can typically go up to about 32 inches in overall diameter without modifications. However, this varies based on your wheel offset and trim level. The Z71 trim has a factory 1-inch lift which provides slightly more clearance. At Rolling Big Power, we specialize in determining the largest tire size that will fit your specific Canyon configuration without requiring suspension modifications.

How often should I rotate the tires on my GMC Canyon?

For normal driving conditions, rotate your Canyon's tires every 5,000-7,500 miles. If you frequently drive on rough roads, tow heavy loads, or do significant off-road driving, consider rotating them every 3,000-5,000 miles. Regular rotation helps ensure even wear patterns and maximizes tire life. Rolling Big Power recommends following your owner's manual for specific rotation patterns based on your Canyon's drivetrain configuration.

What's the bolt pattern for GMC Canyon wheels, and does it affect tire selection?

All GMT31XX Canyon models (2015-current) use a 6x120 bolt pattern with a 66.9mm center bore. While the bolt pattern doesn't directly affect tire selection, it's crucial for wheel compatibility if you're upgrading to aftermarket wheels. At Rolling Big Power, we ensure that any wheel and tire package we recommend maintains proper fitment with your Canyon's 6x120 pattern and load requirements.

Can I mix different tire sizes on my Canyon for a staggered setup?

We don't recommend mixing tire sizes on your Canyon, especially if it's equipped with all-wheel drive. Different tire sizes can cause drivetrain binding and premature wear of transfer case components. Even on 2WD models, mixing sizes can affect handling, braking performance, and vehicle stability. Rolling Big Power always recommends running four matching tires to ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity of your Canyon's drivetrain components.
