Default How do you like your tires?

I'm looking for some tires to go on my Sierra. 20". Currently have 275/55/20 bridestones 700 treadwear.. I'm lowering the truck 2/3 and also putting a magnacharger on it. What do you all recommend. Trying to stay in the $700-900 range total including mounting, tax, etc. Probably putting them on my stock 20" rims.

I have the 275/55/20 Pirelli Scorpions on my SS and I don't like them at all I should have gone back to the Goodyear Eagle LS series.

if your lowering it go 275 45 or they will rub on the fenders in bumps and dips.

that depends if he has a GMT800 or 900.

a 900 with a 2/3 drop will run the 275/55's just fine.

I have these: Hankook ST RH06 275/55R20

More than satisfied. 15K mileage showing no wear. Ride quiet and smooth. They stay balanced. I would not recommend Kumho.

i picked up some yokohama avid suv at the local treads-n-care. mine are 275 45 20 and i was very impressed with them. especially since they were less than 500 for the set.
