<VV> Tire Advice

[vpersh at netzero.com]

I second that suggestion. I've used Michelin LTX tires on my 1/2-ton Suburbans for years. "C" load rating. A great tire to be sure. Yeah, they cost more to purchase but they don't cost more per mile. I don't like them in 3/4-ton application ("E" load rating) because the ride is way too harsh.

Michelin LTX truck tires are about the best there is, I think.  I've had a 
couple sets.  They wear like iron and are an excellent mud and rain tire. 
They aren't cheep but if you're towing you don't want cheep.

I've used car tires on my 1500 pickup before but for towing or hauling it 
isn't a great idea.

I have a 2009 GMC 2 wheel drive 1500 series pickup truck.  Currently, it has 
P245/79R17 M&S tires by General.  They wore out much sooner than I thought 
they should.   Anybody have any suggestions about replacements?  Thanks in 
advance.

track car or the Corsa convnert.
