Best ‘beefy’ tires for mostly on-road driving

[cardude2000]

Time to get new tires and I’d like something a little more aggressive than stock. I do a decent amount of highway driving so they cant be obnoxious/loud.

Very little off road but do spend a good chunk of time on dirt roads.

Have snows for winter so don’t care about snow/ice performance.

Any suggestions?

I pretty much drive like a maniac behind the wheel compared to 99% of the other people out there and the goodyear eagle ls/2 or eagle sport suit my needs very well, they are not "beefy" but with these heavy trucks they stick to the road like glue, they are speed rated I believe to 160 (faster than these trucks will ever go) and you can get very decent mileage out of them and virtually no road noise. prices are not absurd generally you can a set of 4 installed for less than $600. Pretty good bang for the buck I could be running pirelli's or some fancy name brand but honestly I just feel like I am paying for a "brand name" at substantial higher cost. just my 02.$

Only brand of M/Ts I have ever had were Toyos but I had 3 different sets and was never bothered by the noise.

Look nice. What are the rims?

How are they on the highway?

Wheels are 22”x9” from OEWheelsLLC. Tire are relatively quiet to be more aggressive, but louder than stock.

If you want something slightly less aggressive check out Nitto Terra Grapplers G2

Nitto Terra Grappler G2s. Love them. Great on all terrain and minimal noise added.

Cooper LTZs (they even pay homage to the Tahoe!).

Yes they rub, but... they really look good and handle well!

Put cooper At3 4s’s on my 16 Suburban about 3000 miles ago. Very happy with them so far. A little more aggressive look, fantastic traction in rain and snow, nearly as quiet as the stock Wrangler SRAs.

Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock 20” wheels. Great highway ride very quiet as well.

 

[williamhorton84]

Pictures don’t do these justice they have an aggressive side wall but ride more like an all terrain or highway tire. This is my second set and I love them. Also keeps my wife off my butt. She hated the road noise from my Mickey Thompson MTZ’s.

Looks great.

Stock wheels? They seem to be offset far outside the wheel wells...

 

[williamhorton84]

Yes sir I put on a 4” suspension lift and 2” wheel spacers for a more aggressive stance. Wanted to stand out a bit from the soccer moms.
