Upgraded my 18" EX wheels to some new 8.5x20 Sport Tuning wheels from Tire Rack and some 275/45/20 General Grabber AT3 tires.

I just installed my Tuxmats. They look nice and fit very well. I’m definitely happy with my purchase. My only complaint would be what was noted above, that the middle area under the bench seat doesn’t have coverage. But I generally don’t have more than one or two people riding in the...

That went well. It looks like as long as you have the TCS on, you’re golden. Frankly I’ve been impressed with the Telluride’s ability in its stock configuration. Giving it some better tires and a lift would certainly make it even more capable.

After experimenting with each mode, I generally just leave it in Smart mode now. While in Smart, it seems to run in Eco about 80% of the time and switch to Comfort when I’m going up a hill or coming from a stopped position, etc. The last two tanks of gas in Smart mode were 26.3 and 26.5 mpg...

I got notification today that my tuxmats have shipped, so anyone else that has ordered already should be getting them this week as well.

Looks like the Tuxmats are now available for pre-order. It says they're expecting to ship on June 17th.

https://www.willtheyfit.com/ This is the site I generally use when I’m trying to figure out how a new size of wheels will fit my vehicles.

It got a 97 score in their road test. That’s great. No other mid-sized SUVs got over 90 on their road test other than the Ascent. I’m guessing this report will further add to the already high demand for Tellurides.

AWD EX driven about 75% highway miles. In ECO I’m averaging just a bit over 25 mpg. Comfort mode brings it down 2 or 3 mpg. Those figures are based on actual fill ups. The computer tells me a bit higher.

I see that Tuxmat has the Telluride listed now on their site but it’s currently showing as sold out. I’m guessing it won’t be long before they’re available for purchase. Looks like $350 for all three rows of seats or $250 for the first two rows.

I like the Husky liners a little better than the Weathertech for the exact reason you mention. Seems like they have slightly more coverage. A Husky representative stated that early June would be the availability date for their Telluride mats.

I heard back from a representative at Husky and she said that they’re expecting early June as the date of availabilty for their floor liners.

Those Black Rhinos are slick. I’m definitely considering a set of those to replace my EX wheels. I’ve been holding out so far to see what Tirerack will have available. I’m a little surprised that they don’t have their wheel selection available already for the Telluride.

I usually drive in comfort mode. I like the fact that with the Telluride you can actually notice a difference between the various modes. With some other brands I’ve had experience with, there didn’t really seem to be any discernible difference between the different mode choices.
