Default 265/75/R16 Tires?

Yo,

I need new tires...bad.

I was on tirerack.com and I'm probably going to order from there. I have a stock Sierra, 4wd. I do a bit of field running so I'll need an offroad tire, all season - but I have no idea what to look for in terms of durability. I want the tires to last - how possible that is in my criteria I don't know.

I'd also like cheapish - don't really want to go over 150 a tire, less is better.

So what has been good in your experiences? And my tires now say p265, whats the difference between a P and no P?

thanks

i run 265/70r16 firestone winterforce uv. you can get them from tirerack for around 86 bucks a piece. i like them. you can hear them just alittle running down the road.which i dont care about.they are soft. they get good track in the dirt if you gotta travel off road and when the winter snow comes if anyn where you live your already good to go.lol hey man when you dont have much money like me and ya gotta go cheap ya do what ya gotta do to atleast stay safe and have good tread.

I have duellers A/T on my truck now and I love them. I live in Canada, in a snowbelt. I spend a lot of winters rolling through at least 6" of snow before the plows hit.

I'll check out those you linked, thanks for the responses, guys.

I'm not cheap, I just have to fix a wheel bearing and new shocks as well - that sucks. haha

The General Grabber AT2 has gotten some damn good reviews, and my old boss liked them on his Cummins. They did pretty well in the mud, and he said they were awesome in the snow.

265/75/R16 Tires?-iphone-pics-179.jpg
I have a 2001 2500HD and I run the Grabber AT2 (295/75/16). I live in northern Minnesota and have real winter weather, and they do great in the snow. I know a local place sells them for less than tirerack does. So look around. I've read on the Tundrasolutions forum that the Geolander AT is known to reduce fuel mileage.

The P is the load range, and stands for passenger. As apposed to the LT(light truck) loads which are rated for more weight. The P load should be fine, and cost less.

same deal with the firestone winterforce uv tires. the LT model/series just costs more as well. the load rateing is alittle higher but you should be just fine

I've had great luck with BFGoodrich AT's through the years, but they may be out of your price range.

Also, the General Grabber AT2 in a P load range is a 60,000 mile tread life, so they say. Mine are LT, so not covered under that warranty.
