I'm having issues deciding on tires. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I for sure am getting a set of touring tires, but something that grips well in wet or dry. I drive over 60 miles a day, usually 200+ on the weekends, and I corner like I'm in a Mustang on the track. [i can't help it

] so they have to last a good while considering the beating they'll take. It's a welded posi 3:08 too, so it's not that efficient when it comes to tire wear. My main issue is size.

I'm already set on a set of Pirelli's, BFG's, or Yokohama's. Currently I have 31x10.5's on Rally's. I want about the same width but not quite as tall, just to keep a good-looking stance.

Before I pull my hair out, anyone have any recommendations?

I run UHP Grabbers on my 96 Jimmy. They work great in wet and dry weather. They do lose grip as they wear down. I got 60,000 miles out of mine. Due to speed rating, no milage is warrantied for them. I would look at some Eagles or maybe even Cooper Cobras.

Hmm, I forgot about Coopers [though my C-10 had Trendsetters LMAO] BACK TO TIRE RACK!
