I have 265/75's that are Firestone Destination All Terrains...and I love them...

I had Raptor ZIEX and those sucked soooo bad...they lasted about 18K and it was a rough 18K.

I got yokohama Geolandar ATSs 265/75/16s on my winter wheels. Best all terrain tires I've ever had but I haven't had many so not much to compare with.

I have 305/50/20 Cooper Zeon LTZ's. They are a moderately aggressive AT tire. Also ride extremely well and quiet. They are big...but you don't have to get the same size as me....but all around a really great tire so far.

Why you say dont buy falken ziex???

Because they're absolute ******* garbage.

I had a set of 5 (FIVE), four on the truck, and one spare (on a spare rim)...........and slowly but surely, all 5 of them bitches started to deform on me. I'm talking about super dangerous, highway deformation. The belts were seperating, causing massive deformation. Falken had that "nice guy smile" when I confronted them about it....but you know what they did to help me? Nothing. I told them to get ****** and bought all new Nankangs (The "Cheapies"............and you know what? They perforn AWESOME!)

295/70 R18 Trail Grapplers....with my wheels (-12 offset) and a 6" lift i barely had to trim anything...they are quiet on the road and on the highway you can barely hear them....that and they pull like some BEASTs when you get in the mud....

Make sure you keep all your receipts, take pictures of the tires now, while they're still good........and most importanatly, keep an eye on them bitches! With mine, the belts began to seperate, causing the tread to deform. It's deceptive at first, be careful! I honestly wouldn't feel comfortable on them anymore.

I miss my Nitto Terra Grapplers.... They were LT295/70r17 and were amazing in the snow and rain! Next set for sure.

Currently running Les Schwab's Dean (Built by Cooper Tires) Wildcat Radial A/T on stock LT265/70r17 and they are a quite smooth All-Terrain tire that does great in the snow and rain so far. Last set before the Nitto were the same and got 50K out of them. Les Schwab has a written guarantee of 60K if proof of rotation and air pressure checks through them every 3,000 miles!

I said Raptor ZIEX, I meant Falken Ziex's....literally worst tire I have ever bought..about 5K in the tires were all cupping and wearing weird not to mention how loud they were/...the tire company told me it was my alignment, so i had it done..3K later I brought it back in and they told me this time it was my shocks...I left and they only lasted another 10K. ABSOLUTE CRAP. I already put 8K on these Firestone Destination A/T's and they still look like new.

Currently have Michelin. Tires on truck when I bought the baby. 8k miles later so far so good, need a rotation though.

Unsure about replacement yet, I'd like to get the 20" NNBS wheels that were talked about in another thread.

I'm saving my pennies for a set of these 20" X 8 1/2" Tahoe wheels and of course going to custom paint them. I want to put 275/60r20's on them. Got any suggestions on which company is good for hgwy, mud, snow ?

I had put Falken's on our old suburban, they SUCKED! 12k miles and they were god awful!

I have Firestone Destination ST's on the Yukon now, so far they are great, but we only have about 5k miles on them.

By the way while we're on the discussion of tires. What is the biggest Tire I can fit on stock 7.5" steelies? the 285's are on there now which are 33's I want to pop 315's on there and then get some rims in a month or 2. But I need tires now, anyone know if I can pop the 315's on there?
