Good replacement tires

[99TahoeNut]

I'm looking for some good replacement tires for my 99 Tahoe.

Does anyone have any good recommendations?

[ARNIE]

If money is not an issue I am going to suggest Michelin LTX/MS. I have a set on a 1999 Suburban that now have about 70,000 miles on them and look to still have another 10,000 left. Also, new this year in the SUV market is the Uniroyal Cross Country that is actually rated a longer tread wear than the LTX's and a lot cheaper.

[99TahoeNut]

I'll have a look. What are we looking at for a set of 4 of them? Who carries them? I usually just go to the local discount tire company shop and they give me a good price.

[99TahoeNut]

That's the local tire company that sells at a discount, not the "Discount Tire Company" that is a chain out West. :-)

I just priced a new set of Michelin LTX/MS (275.16) at my local family owned tire store where I have bought tires for years and they were $750 total. The Uniroyal's were $481, which I am going to try this time. I have had great performance out of my Michelin's but they are pricy. I think they may give a little better ride but for the money difference I'm going to try the new Uniroyal which they told me was actually a higher rated tire wear wise. I Googled them both and compared reviews........(no difference)

WOW! What sort of warranty/service contract does that come with?

Right before I bought my Tahoe new tires were put on. I believe it was the dealer but hard to tell. Its been over three years and they still look new with a LOT of tread depth. They give good handling in snow/rain/gravel/etc. They are the Wild Country Radial AT. I've put over 30,000 miles on em but can't bring myself to justify buying new ones in the condition they're in. Many people I've talked to highly and strongly recommend the BF Goodrich A/T KO or M/T KO for these vehicles as well.

[Steve]

What size and configuration are we talking about? Stock rims and sizes? Is this for a 4x4?

[kamikos]

If you're asking me, stock rims and sizes on a 4x4 96 yes. 245 75r16 I believe. Its a bit dark to double-check that right now. The guys on alt.autos.4x4.chevy-trucks rave about the KOs for regular LT duty tires. I'm thinking if I ever have to replace mine, I'll give them a good look as they seem to be very decently priced as well.

[Steve]

I did some checking into it, and tires REALLY are that expensive! I guess the 245's are a big hunk of rubber.

i got mine installed for 606.60 out the door at NTB last week.

[Steve]

What type did you end up getting Kroon?

[KROON45]

michelin LTX/ MS E load rating....awesome tires i would recommend them to anyone

[Cheezy]

Thanks for the advice guys, I might have to check into getting a new set of those myself.

[Steve]

I'm in the market for some new tires myself. I see a nail sticking out of the front-passanger tire. :-( Tread is about 30% too.

[rbruce]

I'm running BF Goodrich AT TA's, 265's on stock rims. These have been awesome tires. 90,000 miles out of my first set. Just got my second set last Oct. for about $575.

Great tire for off-road. Got my first set before a 3000 mile road trip to Montana that included many miles of forest service roads. Also great in the snow and rain.

Highly recommend.

[ARNIE]

Nail sighting is not good. LOL

[Steve]

Yeah, but at least I'm rolling with a can of fix-a-flat in the back. :-) I'm glad they started making the larger cans too.

Personally, I'm a fan of Michelins. I have Michelin LTX M/S tires on the 'Burb and I love 'em. They give me good grip. I'm in the process of getting 2 new Michelins for it now, same tires.

[spirentc]

I just got a set of 4 Goodyear Fortera HL Edition tires for my Enovy. Tires are soo expensive. Every tire store I went to wanted anywhere from $650-$850. That was crazy I got the Goodyears for $439 shipped to my house then spent $40 to get them put on. So far I love them. Great in the rain and handling is the same as the BFG T/A that were on it. And they look great too! Anybody looking I got them on Tirerack.com. The site was very helpful with comparing different tires and ratings from customers.

[TahoeFever]

Funny you should say that i also got my tires from that place too !

I run 4 p235 75/15 Michelin on my 1500. Not sure of the model but they have gone about 90k. Worth every penny to me. I also have the lt245-75/16 on the front of the 2500 and the other two will be replaced with them also when the time comes. These are the E rated ones they have about 15k on them and still look brand new.

Worth the coin to me in their longevity.

I've never had a problem with the brand and I can't say that about several other brands I've purchased in the past.

Has anyone ever used the Bridgestone dueller REVO's? I negociated (sp?) for 500 bucks off my truck when i bought it a month ago because i wanted new tires and i knew they wouldnt give me any worthwhile tires if they put them on for me. I was thinking about the REVOs but I have heard nothing about them besides looking at the ratings on www.tirerack.com

So...yeah, anyone know much about them?

[Steve]

Who else has a favorite tire?
