Default 2021 AWD Wheel Set UP

Just ordered a set of 2020 Colorado Wheels to set up for my 2021 RS AWD for a winter set up.



I am looking to wrap them in Falken WildPeak A/T Trails in a 235/65r18


Anyone have any experience with this set up??
Or the tires? They seam to have a great rating / review online.

Will make my Blazer look like an AWD SUV for sure - the 21's that came on it are great on the dry roads but SUCK in the snow and ice.

Nice! Let us know how the tires hold up.

As well, how is the blazer treating you? Pros and cons so far?

Will do they cant be worse than the ones on the 22's, those are barely there at 23K miles.

Couple warranty issues so far, but simple and fixed promptly by the dealer.
- Coolant tank (replaced)
- Finish on grill bars (replaced)

Just curious, why didn't you go with a true winter tire? I have no idea what winter is like in Ohio, so I don't have a frame of reference, but here in the frozen northern wastelands a dedicated winter tire makes a HUGE difference on cold/icy/snow covered over any all season or 4 season tire.

I wanted a different tire set up that I can potentially run year round. A true winter tire is too soft and these fit the bill nicely!

They handle great both on wet, icy, snow & dry roads.

And this is how the Blazer AWD should be anyways.

Follow up question.

So I have decided to keep the All Terrains on year round, so when I had the Blazer in for it's oil change at the dealer I asked them to correct the speedo, as it is off 2-3 MPH at speed.
They told me that they did not know how. WTF?
Yes this is the Chevy dealer I bought it from.

Crazy how small dealers seam to have no idea on some of the simple things.

Who has had this done on 2021??
