Tire wear on Continentals on RS????

I took my 2020 Blazer RS in for an oil change, tire rotation, and GM check list items. I was surprised as my depth is at 5/32 on my 21" Continental tires. Looks like these tires are only going to make 20,000 to 25,000 miles. Kind of shocking as I am mostly small town or highway driving. Is any else experiencing this? Especially on a RS with Continentals.

I have a "RS" 2019 model that came with the 21" Continentals on them and I was SO dissapointed with the tire wear and performance I was getting with those tires. This Fall here in Michigan, I knew I was going to be in for some problem areas if I didn't do something before Winter, so I went to Belle Tire and sucked it up and installed 21" Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires and BOY.... what a DIFFERENCE!! Great ride, quiet, grips the road unbelievably, and goes over the old bumps I used to feel and you hardly notice them with these tires on! I would recomend anyone to try these tires and tell us they don't see a HUGE difference in performance and comfort.

The with poor handling in snow seems to be pretty common. I have a 2019 RS and find that even in four wheel it get tossed around pretty well in slush and even in heavier rain. Not sure if it is the size of the tires, tread of the tires, or possibly some other issue. I have seen others who have swapped tires and seem to be much better, but all the posts that I have seen are from someone who swapped out a size other than the 21’s on my Blazer. At the end of this summer I may change the tires for something with more bite.

I was NOT getting a great feeling of safety with my factory Continental 21" tires on my 2019 Blazer RS, and at 26K miles, I went in to Belle Tire and switched to the Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires and what a HUGE difference. Ride, comfort, quietness, and especially the handling in our so far kinda soft wintery weather here in lower Michigan. I hated paying the price, but even my wife notices how much better the ride and quitness is in the car now. Good luck with whatever you come up with.
