That's a good price. I was really interested when I read your post, til i saw someone say they sucked after 1/2 wear in rain. I'm leaning toward buying some Goodyr T.T. Good in wet or dry. I have yet to pull the trigger on some. I've also lookin @ Avon.

What would u descibe a drag radial as? I'd say that's a sticky street tire. Or track, as the case may be...

I hear that. I wanna go w/ the widest 16" that'll fit stock wheelwells. Stay near 30.6" stock height & have attributes I want.
John, it sucks when I would like to go to a 17" or 18", but can't afford. Plus, I need rims. Sounds like you'd like 17"s or 18"s too.

What tire would you truck/SUV folks recommend for a Yukon SLT 2WD soccer mom ride? I think the OE tires suck for hwy noise and do not want to but them again.

I'm satisfied with the 295/50/20 UHP's, good for the money, but not the best you can get. Nothing will get traction on the street behind a blown 6.0 unless you have AWD.

I am looking at a set of UHP's as well, but I have heard they wear pretty fast. What sort of mileage do yall get out of them?

Hankook Ventus RH06 in 275/55/20. It's a great tire - good wet & dry traction, very smooth, very quiet. 50K mileage warranty, V-speed rated, directional tread. M&S rated but it's a street tire so it would be suspect in deep snow and worthless in mud. They were pretty cheap - $640 out the door mounted, lifetime road-force balance, lifetime rotate, and road hazard included.

general grabbers have just as good rating as the bf goodrich. General grabbers have tire wall warranty too. www.tirerack.com has the ratings and customer reviews.
