Tire Recommendations PLEASE

[Moose912]

Hello all,

I am new to the forum. I have searched for answers on here and others but have yet to find more current posts. Everything seems to be a few years old. I have an 05 Denali XL with the factory 20" option. I am looking to purchase new tires this spring/summer. I live in Indiana where we get plenty of snow. I am looking for recommendations on tires to use. It will be offroad very seldomly, so no A/T tires please. I need excellent traction and performance, long tread life, and minimal road noise. Goodyear does not fit any of these categories, so please do not suggest them. I have interest in the Alenza H/L and the Michelin LTX M/S. I am having a hard time choking down the prices of them, but am willing to spend the extra if it is necessary, which I am sure it will be. I am just looking for some input and advice on experiences. And please, make them personal experiences, not your buddy's truck that you drove that one time.


Truck is bone stock for now, just picked it up and getting started.

Everything Michelin I have ever driven or owned have been great. That's what I would choose

the alenza gets pretty good ratings and reviews. probably considerably cheaper too.

Hey TJ,

I just put on some Continental CrossContact LX20 275/55 R20s on my Tahoe (and except for a bit of rubbing when backing) I'm very happy with the ride, the tire specs and they are very quiet.

They have a "flanged lower sidewall to help reduce the possibility of curb damage to expensive wheels" that I really like to keep the rims off the curb.

I paid $164/tire at America's Tire.

I replaced the Michelin Latitude Tour P265-70R 17s I had on it and the new tires are quieter than the Michelins.

I'm running Hankook Ventus and so far they're great.

Thank you to all who have given input so far. I am eager to begin working on the truck once the weather breaks and the money starts rolling in..
