2007 Chevy 2500 tires
 

I recently replaced the tires on my truck with goodyear wrangler silent armor prograde. I have noticed that the rubber is very soft and perform terribly on the high highway. Truck is all over the road. Thinking the truck was the problem, had the pitman arm, inner tie rods, and steering stabilzer replaced. Truck is still wandering allover the road. Has anyone else used these tires and experienced that same results?

I use Toyo ATs. Love them almost as much as I liked my Dueller AT's. Can not get the Bridgestone Dueller AT's in 20s, hence the Toyos. I have a 2008 Silverado 2500hd diesel with an extra 100hp and 200 ft lb of torque. Hard on back tires...

Yep, it's the tires. They suck.

I have brand new Goodyear Wrangler HTs on my Ford Dually at the moment. I bought them because the wheels/tires that I want (19.5s) are not available yet. They are the exact tires that came on my Myco trailer, and I plan on switching them over to my trailer when I get the 19.5" setup.

I can't stand driving on them. The rubber is way too soft and the non-interlocking lugs provide a very loose ride.

They are GREAT trailer tires, but they suck as truck tires. I'll never buy another Goodyear product for a car/truck. But I will run them on my Myco boat trailer.

I should have learned the first time I bought Goodyears for my Tahoe years ago. I took them back the next day as well--terrible.

I am running cooper atr's on mine. they dont handle all the torque as well as the Yokohama's (more wheelspin)I had before but otherwise are good on and off the road

I ran Cooper A/Ts on my 2500 Avalanche and liked them. I ran them on 16x8 wheels on that truck which drastically improved the handling of that truck vs. the factory 16x6.5" wheels.

I later went to 17x8 wheels on the same truck with BFG Rugged Trail E-rated tires which was also a great setup; especially towing.

Swapping out of the the bicycle-narrow wheels that GM installs from the factory to 8" or 9" wide wheels greatly improves the handling of those trucks.

I have a 250sd ford with 20 inch toyo open country at , great tires . all tires for towing should be load range E .

We call 'em Pizza cutters. :D :D

what load range ?? 2500's should be E's if you go down it sucks..tried it once on my 2500..took them right back off...heard now it's illegal for a tire shop to go down in load range rating..

I run the Bridgestone Dueller AT's on my '07 Silverado HD and love them. Great all around tire.

I got the load range E ones if you went anything less than that than you made a mistake. I have the 18 IN Good year SA's and they work good. All winter up in NY hardly ever had in in 4WD. I dont get drift or anything.

I ran Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's load range E on my Chevy 2500HD. Loved 'em. Wore out BFG AT TKO's in 22K. Truck was hell on rear tires with only a 60HP Predator tune. I ran 265's on stock rims. Tried 285's and didn't like how it felt you were rolling over on the sidewalls due to the rims being too narrow for the tire width.

I removed the stock 245's on my 2500 and replaced them with 285's on 8" WeldWheels. No more pizza cutters. :D

What Kind of tires? Michelins. They cost more, but they last forever and give the truck a better ride!:eureka:

Picture below. This was before we jacked the front up to match the back.

I have the load range "E" pro grade versions. I talked to someone at goodyear today. They want someone to look at the tires and my truck. The guy told me they will figure out what the problem is and take care of it if it is the tires.

yep the only way to go, i have 17'' h2 hummer wheels on mine with 285/70/17 michelins and i love them

I ran the Revo's on my Suburban 2500 that I bought in 2004. The tires lasted a good 65K miles and the truck handled good but the road noise was borderline unbearable. So bad I thought I had bad front hub bearings but it was just the tires. I also had one tire out of 4 that had some kind of wobble in the tread pattern so @ 65 mph the truck would vibrate. Also, the corners of the treads ripped off not long after I bought them. I didn't effect the life of the tire though.

I finally replaced them today. I got the Firestone Transforce AT's. Firestone was having a sale, buy 3 get one free so I paid $700. So far the road noise is minimal to non-existant and it seems to handle well so far. I bought the tires because they have a high treadwear rating like the Revo's.

The rep at Firestone said the Revo's were discontinued. Supposedly they came out with Revo II's which fixed the road noise but I didn't want to chance it.

285/70/17 BFGoodrich All Terrains on mine. Putting a wider tire than spec'd for a particular rim will create a rounder profile that makes for a squirrely ride. When not towing I run less than the max pressure to keep the tread flat on the pavement for uniform wear and best handling. There are calculations for proper tire pressure you can look up. It's not as simple as what is stated on the door sill. You can also mark your tire with chalk and drive a few feet on smooth concrete while adjusting air pressure till the chalk wears off even. The calculation and the chalk method both equate to about the same psi. Learned all this from oversize tires on a jeep. sorry to be long winded about it, but i chased my tail over poor handling till I learned this.

If the front end parts are in good shape then recheck the aleignment,,if the toe is off it wil wander..too much air pressure will also do it..try 50 psi in the front tires and take it for a ride and see if their are any changes..
