Re: 2009 Escalade Hybrid purchase advice
I pulled the trigger on a 2010 chevy tahoe hybrid! We love it. Thanks for your help! Drove from Jackson, MS to Newport, Arkansas 5 hours to get it. Everything works properly, auto stop, hybrid power. The dealer filled it and we drove back 330 miles and are averaging 22.8 MPG with 220 fuel range left. It was at a Ford dealer in the middle of nowhere, they changed the oil but I'm going to pick up some Mobile 1 EP today. Its a good idea to use the AC Delco oil filter in case of a warranty issue later right?? If so I wont let it stay on for 15,000 miles that mobile claims the EP will last. How do you update the NAV map? Thanks!!

The factory in-dash nav sucks, the update disc is like over $100, not to mention unless you jailbreak it you cannot use it while the car is in drive. A kick *** garmin with lifetime maps will set you back like $125 @ Costco. I'm still using my Garmin from 2009 and love it. Also Google maps on my note 3 is pretty sweet too.

I need to replace the tires because they are wearing on the insides apparently the werent rotated properly. Any recommendations? Are the Bridgestones any good? What size 18 brand is best for low resistance that we need?

My Bridgestone dueler HL Alenzas last up to 70k miles. Very quiet and low rolling resistance.

Thanks evois. I'll check on that. would going to the escalade 22s affect my tahoe much?? I know someone thats selling a set.
I couldn't find much info on here about the continental and Goodyear. Seems the continental is better.

Oem on standard and 22 inch is the h/l Alenza. The firestone shop will give you a 30-day try it out. Make sure you tell them though.

I highly recommend the Michelin LTX M/S 2 in the 18" size, if you cannot find the stock 265/65R18 size, the 255/70R18 size works fine. This tire should last 70k+ miles and does not have the inside edge wear problem the Bridgestones seem to have.
