The 2024 Chevy Silverado HD introduced a mid-cycle refresh rounding up revised front fascia styling, new alloy wheel designs and paint colors, along with an overhauled cabin and more advanced safety features. Meanwhile, the Silverado HD ZR2 also launched over the summer as the most off-road-focused variant of the heavy-duty pickup line. Now, the 2024 Silverado HD is no longer able to be ordered with a particular set of mud-terrain tires.
GM Authority has learned that the LT275/70R18 mud-terrain tires (RPO code QG3) are no longer available for the Silverado HD. Notably, these tires were previously offered as a standalone option on WT, LT and LTZ trim levels of the heavy-duty pickup, priced at $495 on WT and LT and at $295 on LTZ.
It’s worth noting that these tires were also included in the Alaskan Snow Plow Edition package (RPO code ANQ) offered on WT and LT units as well as the Midnight Edition (RPO code WJP) and Z71 Sport Edition (RPO code WEA) available exclusively on LT and LTZ units.
In lieu of the mud-terrain tires, these three packages now include the LT275/70R18E all-terrain tires (RPO code QF6). This replacement is already standard on the LTZ models, and cost $200 as a standalone option on WT and LT trim levels.
Mud-terrain tires are still available on the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD, but only on the newly introduced ZR2 variant. The latter is equipped with the LT305/70R18 35-inch Goodyear Territory MT rubber (RPO code QMG) as standard.
As a reminder, the 2024 Chevy Silverado HD is equipped as standard with the naturally aspirated 6.6L V8 L8T gasoline engine, rated at 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, across the entire trim lineup. The optional 6.6L V8 L5P turbodiesel Duramax engine, which has been uprated for the mid-cycle refresh to 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque, is also available. Both engines are matched to the Allison-branded 10-speed automatic transmission.
Under the skin, the Chevy Silverado HD rides on a more-capable variant of the GM T1 platform, which it shares with its corporate platform-mate, the 2024 GMC Sierra HD. Production officially kicked off in March 2023 at the GM Flint plant in Michigan and few weeks later the GM Oshawa plant in Canada.

Another stupid decision, lots of people need the mud tires for real work (farmers, ranchers, and construction) but don’t need the ZR2 package that the weekend warrior fan boys pay extra for.
They are junk tires anyway. I have had them on two trucks and living down 8 miles of dirt road I had rocks punch through three tires and could not be repaired and this is a county maintained road not a two track road. After 25,000 miles they are worn out.
Probably a supplier issue.
Ordering MudTerrain tires from the factory is a krap shoot any way. Go to the after market and buy BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A’s. Best after market tire in the world. K.I.S.S !
Can’t argue with that.
GM derated the towing to 12K pounds with these tires on the 2023 models, even if it was a diesel. Better off without them if GM is going to seriously derate the truck just because of the tires.
I’ve had GY Wranglers, Firestone Destination LT MT’s, and TA’s. The Firestones were my favorite, then Wranglers, and then the TA’s. The TA’s were good tires but the tread was not aggressive enough.
Tires and batteries on new vehicles are always low quality unless you pay a heavty price for an upgrade. It’s best to just take the cheap tires at the time of your buy and replace them dawn the road with what you want.
BTW, If you buy a Dually, get the cheapest wheels they offer. because your probably going to have to replace them wiith a wheel that lets you add tire valve extentions on the inside rear wheels like I had to do. I could put air in the inside rear wheels without taking off the outside wheel to do it. GM, Ford, nor Dodge make tire valve extentions for their duallies. Which is ridiculous.
I agree with those who say, buy from the aftermarket. In my youth, I had a 4×4 shop. Sold many many Bf Goodrich T/A’s. Both All Terrain and MudTerrain. Also sold Goodyear and in the day, Armstrong. All were ten times better than the “Spec” GM original equipment supplied truck tires. Order your truck with base line tires and wheels, take ’em off when you get home and purchase the best tire and wheel package you can. You will be much more happy! Then sell the OEM tires or better yet, put them back on when you sell it. K.I.S.S.!
