Re: Tires
 

Yokohama Geolander h/ts have an excellent e rated tire.

I have run them on a 00 tahoe (GO51) where they handled and wore better than the firestones or michelins. Also on a 05 3500hd dually(GO53) and a 99 z71 pickup.(GO52)

will be putting them on my 06 2500hd as soon as I can get a programmer for it.

Good stiff sidewall for better towing.

i've gotten nothing but compliments on mine, the tread pattern is great, handle great... i have at least 25-30k miles on them... only thing i would change is when they go, I'm going back down to 31 x 10.50..the 32's are a little too much for the V6 in the 4 runner...

Yokohama Geolander H/T-s Light Truck - SUV Tire

One tire, Three Different Applications
Standard Fitments - Original Equipment (G051)
For the majority of light truck and SUV owners, every-day driving - going to work, picking up the kids or going on vacation - is the main use of their vehicle. The integrated design and construction of the Geolandar H/T-S yields true Yokohama style and performance, delivering an excellent ride, great performance and long life. In addition, large shoulder blocks provide strength and stiffness for outstanding cornering.

Special tread compounds assist the Geolandar H/T-S in delivering high-mileage durability, while cross-grooves enhance its all-season capabilities in snow and ice. Constant contact tread blocks reduce low-pitch noise caused by air passing through the tire grooves.

Inch-Up Fitments (G052)
With the increased popularity of Plus 2 and Plus 3 light truck and SUV fitments, the Geolandar H/T-S provides enhanced performance and dedicated truck design construction that only Yokohama can offer. The inch-up sizes offer a distinct sidewall styling to compliment the sporty image. These tires are not just sporty and bigger, they are properly engineered. Outstanding handling is key in this fitment. The unidirectional tread design features large shoulder and smaller grooves delivering outstanding response grip and cornering. Add to that a high performance casing profile for quick steering response and ride comfort and a solid center rib that reduces noise and you have one awesome high performance ride.

Light Truck Load Range E (G053)
Yokohama's technological advantage provides appropriate reinforced product applications that exceed customer expectations. Three-ply casing construction handles heavy loads at highway speeds and delivers outstanding durability. The wider solid center rib also adds to the tire's durability and adds greater directional stability. The deeper groove depth of the Load Range E sizes contributes to the Geolandar H/T-S's enhanced wet and snow traction and the longer wear of the tire.

The Geolandar H/T-S comes with a 60,000 Mile Limited Tread Warranty on Standard (GO51) applications. The tire is available in 50, 60, 65, 70, and 75 aspect ratios in rim diameters ranging from 15"-20". Sizes also include 30x9.50R15 and 31x10.50R15. The Geolandar H/T-S carries UTQG Rating between 460/AA/A and 500 A/B depending on the size.

They are generally cheaper than the Michelin LTX's

Re: Tires
 

I went with the 285s on my HD, but I should have gone with the 265. It rubs very little on the gray plastic part under the bumper, but with my plow on it rubs more.

Re: Tires
 

I have been through 2 set's of BFG Goodrich All Terrain KO's on My 4x4 Yukon and they wear very well, 40K + miles
285 70-16. I highly recomend them.

Re: Tires
 

Thanks for all the input,I think I will start looking into brands you all mentioned.I think I will move up to 265s,I saw a truck with that size on it,and it more balanced.

Thanks again, Paul

How would the gear ratio in the rear end of my 05' 2500HD DMax have to be changed for a kelderman air ride 12" lift and 49" IROC tires?

Re: Tires
 

I just went for the bling. 20x10 Eagle Alloys and and 305-50x20 "extra load" Goodyear Eagle GTs. Both wheels AND tires are rated for over 3000 lbs each :cool:
