Sydways, thats the exact tire I put on all my trucks, the 2002 Duramax just got the 285 75-r-16 AT Im good for at least 35k with my application, and they look just as good as the big names at 2/3 the cost.:D

OK,,, I just switched to Goodyear RT/S 245/75/16 E raed andI hate them, they are commingoff,,,, so lets say money is no object, ,,,,,, what is the best HANDLING tire???? I dont care about treadlife, I want stable towing,,, I am about ready to go back to the factory Firestones, just want to be sure,,, I have hard good things about BF's and Michelens also

Obnoxus,

You cannot go wrong with BFG All Terrain KOs. I am going to try Cooper I think, just because I like to be different. Aside from the stickershock, the BFG is awesome.

If you want the best offroad/load range tire, check out Interco's TRXUS Mud terrains (also known as Super Swamper Trxus)
They are availible in load range D and keep up the super swamper reputation off-road.

Real world: A buddy put them on his 1/2 ton Z71 and after 10k miles, he still loves em! He got them at a great price (about 30 bucks a tire less than the BFG's)

If you want a real truck tire, This is it!!

These are the Goodyears I had HORRIBLE and SCARY ride and handling with:

Those Goodyears were E rated, and the problem with the awful handling was the tall lugs, and non-interlocking lugs. Sorry, those Interco's look mighty scary to me for handling, especially towing significant weight.

Here are the BFG All Terrain KO's. Mighty fine tire!

I looked up Light Truck History , yesterday at Work.. Our best selling LT Tires were,,,,

BFG KO
Michelin LTX M/S
GY RTS
Firestone Steeltex

Mama has Michelin's on her Expdition and LOVES Them

obnoxus 10-09-2002 07:33 AM

SAME HERE !!!! scary handling on th GY RT/S,,, I has Firestone Steltex,,, but the rs5 or whatever it was,,,,,terrible traction,,, TIRERACKS website calls this " a great fronttire for dually applicatins " !!!!!!! GOOD JOB GM !!!!! ,,, not the A/T tire,,, I would go with that one if I go back to Firestone,,, I am kinda leaning toward the Michelin M/S right now,,,, like I said at this point I dont care about cost or treat life, I want stable handling

I also dont need the offroad aggressivness,,,,,,I barely take it out in the snow, It maily sleeps with the boat all winter !!!!!
