Recommend me some tires...

ShaftyVonHelmet · Nov 22, 2014

Need an AT 265/75R16 load range E for a 2004 Tahoe. Replacing Kelly Safari Trex that were new when I bought the rig, have actually worn very well. Wanting a reasonably priced tire, what has worked best for you?
Thanks-

Load range e's?

ShaftyVonHelmet · Nov 23, 2014

Who makes those? Did you like them?

Every tahoe I have worked on with load range e's road pretty bad compared to a d range tire

Huh, my rides great.

Why do you need load e tires on a half ton Tahoe? D would be more than sufficient

ShaftyVonHelmet · Nov 23, 2014

I don't, it's what's on it and they work well. Just looking for opinions on tires... do you have any?

For an all around long lasting and pretty good traction tire. I liked the Firestone Transforce. Those lasted a long time on my truck and road nice.

i agree you dont need "E" for the "HO"...the hankook dynapro ATs have been working good on my truck..

I have Dynapro A/t's on my 12 valve. They wear great , and have been a great tire.
cheers

It is not a dd. While my suburban is down it's what I have to tow with or pack full of people when space is needed (like these holidays). I'll dump it after winter/spring and would likely keep the tires if I buy new ones. I am aware that a 1/2 ton Tahoe doesn't "need" lr e tires. The ones on it now were new when I bought it and have been surprisingly great, no prior experience with them.
