Tires have many variables that affect drivability and safety...Depending on how you use your Uplander...like most things...you get what you pay for...It is usually best to stay with original tire size...ie...225/60/R16..(This confirms speedometer accuracy and tire wheelwell clearances). Comparison by mileage warranty will help assure good quality. All season tread pattern is best overall...For best ride quality the Michelin Harmony is hard to beat. Yokohama tires have proven to be great performers, but do not ride as soft as the Michelin...Goodyear design and quality is not the leader as they used to be in the 1980's...still OK but harsh ride and poor performance in slippery weather...Bridgestone is good also, but not as good as the Michelin or Yokohama...You will be pleasantly surprised with either the Michelin or Yokohama...Tire sidewalls are required to show the USDT rating for temperature and treadwear comparison...Last but just as important is tire air pressure...35 lbs psi is best for everyday driving, handling, and tread wear...Hope this helps.

My 2008 Chevy uplands has a dead battery'..I just replaced it bcuz the other had died. Now this one is dead. What could be the issue?

A blown fuse does not create a draw, it makes an open circuit. You need to do some trouble shooting to find the source of the draw. An alternator can be a source of a power draw, or a light left on such as a map light or vanity light.

My husband just reset the tire sensors on our 2008 Chevy Uplander and now it will not start. When he turns the key on all the dashboard lights come on and then it just makes a clicking noise. Any idea

The tire sensors are not the fault in not starting. at the age of the car, I would have a good test on the battery, but if it tests OK, then look to the stsarter for a solutoin. of a connection.

I can't get the air out of my tires to replace them. someone put the wrong caps on and I am woundering will this mess up the sensors? If so do they have to be replaced when you replace the tires? How much...

Valve stems typically cost anywhere from $.59 to $2.00 to $3.00 a piece depending on where you go.

Sears would probably charge about $2 or $3 for a valve stem in one tire.

How do you remove the spare tire from a 2006 chevy uplander?

To remove the spare you need to access tools stored in the back of the vehicle, passenger side storage area. Open llftgate, remove net (if equipped), lift tab and remove cover to tool storage. Attach folding wrench to extension, insert 'chisel' end on an angle through the hole in the rear bumper and into the hoist shaft. Turn wrench counter-clockwise to lower spare enough so you can pull it from beneath the van to detach. Good luck!
