Default tire opinions

275/60/16s that come stock on a lot of GMCs. they are the firestones. anybody had/have these and what do you think of them? i'm sure they would be better than the skinny little 235/75/16 goodyears i have now...

275/60/16....stock tire???? The biggest factory tire I have seen on a 1500 series truck is a 255/70/16. But I do think the first one would be a nice upgrade.

well that was a typo. but i'm fairly sure they are 265/70/16s. a friend of mine took them off his yukon after only 500 miles. he wants to sell me the chrome GMC wheels and tires or a cheap price. just checking to see if the tires are crappy or have bad traction problems (i don't think anything could be worse than my 235s though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> )
