I live in Kansas where we get more ice than snow. The snow grip is so good I sometimes do not install my dedicated winter tire unless I suspect ice in horizon. Driven in all types of weather from heavy rain to extreme hot summers. The tires do very well in wet conditions and noticed no slipping or sliding. During dry the tire does well and has a solid grip even in higher speeds. The wear has minimal with 20,000 miles. They have been very comfortable and low road noise.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What GMC Yukon Denali drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Wears too fast, performance steadily decreases with wear. Hydroplaning at 100 kmph even though it was installed on a heavy full size suv.
Very good tires overall, less good on wet roads when driving briskly. Very good mileage (100,000 km to date - about 10,000 to 15,000 km left)
I purchase 4 of these tires in 11-2019 and after about 3k miles I had to replace one because of tread tire separation. Just this week (5-19-2023), I had to replace another tire for the same issue, keep in mind I have less than 8k miles on these tires. Ever since I purchased these tires I've been going to the tire shop to get the rebalance. Stay away from this brand, total China junk. The saying is true you get what you pay for, save your money and buy branded tires.
I love my Bridgestone Alenza AS Plus tires - i have them on a 2015 GMC Denali Yukon - and i have 72,000 miles on them - i feel like they could easily go another 20K - they are wearing great - but now i am looking around to see if any tires are better than these for the money.
The best of the best tires for my GMC Yukon Denali 2013. Better than any other brand which is twice as expensive.
