Recommended tires

[JTsYUKON]

What do you guys recommend for smooth highway driving on a 2014 Yukon SLT with stock 17” rims? Needing some new shoes!

I like the goodyear eagle ls/2 or sport, there great tires and usually a pretty decent price, not too hard and not too soft and they have excellent ride and road grip, little to no road noise.
but this is just my honest opinion, im sure there are others out there but I like them a lot.
whatever you end up choosing just hit up the local wheel and tire wholesaler they usually sell to the public as well and you'll probably get the best deal that way.
cash talks!

***also sometimes goodyear has rebates, the catch is you have to get them from one of there suppliers.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S, the part number is 62115 which is a B-Ply tire, 2,679 lbs per tire of carry weight @ 44 psi. None better.

I guess the biggest question would be your location. Does the tires need to deal with snow or mud?

I have BFG KO2's on my Suburban but they are not really quiet but do work very well in the snow/rain/mud. When these need to be replaced I will probably go back to the Bridgestone Revo 2's that I previously had on my Tahoe which were quiet and worked really well in the snow and rain.

Mine are pretty quiet and do not disturb us inside. That hub we just changed however, was a howler and for a time thought it was the tires! The OP wanted a smooth highway tire suggestion and our KO2s are an AT tire.

Thanks a bunch. Sorry for delayed response. I must have missed the email notification. Great help. Appreciate the great stuff on here!

Should I follow factory recommended cold psi? I always thought 32 seemed low. I usually run 34 and they warm up to 37-38

Also, should I run stock size on the stock rims, or go a little wider?

Only very rarely do we see snow. No mud. Slightly Wet roads are the main hazard. Thanks!

With that tire you follow what's on the door sticker. I went stock size but plenty of folks up size to 275s.

For all season, I went with Cooper Discoverer HT Plus.

However, after 60K miles on the HT Plus, I upgraded to Cooper Discoverer AT3.

Cooper definitely makes good tires, as does Michelin! Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely check out

For the short time I had them, I thoroughly enjoyed my Goodyear Assurance CS Tripletred's. They're all season, handled great rain or dry for 17's and did good in the little amount of snow I drove with them. They seemed to ride nice from what I can remember, cant vouch for road noise though as I never payed attention to that or really cared. They dont have a very high load rating (2561lbs) but they are T-rated for speed and I figured I would drive closer to 118 more than I would tow heavily, so I was willing to accept that sacrifice.

Idk how many miles I drove on them (probably 12-15K?) but my dad has my old Denali 17's with those tires on them since I got 20's and they still look like new on his Yukon, as I would expect with a 700+ UTQG rating.

Plus, the tread looks sporty and as much as I dont want to admit it, thats a deal breaker for me lol

Love my defenders so far, recommended by my shop guy as that's all he runs. My last set was destination LE2 and only got 32k out of 60k rated.
Supposed to get 70k+ on michy's... So we'll see.
Very smooth and quiet, haven't had snow yet, but am hoping to soon.
Good luck and don't cheap out on shoes or brakes friend.
