19.5 Tires

Looking for a consensus on the best all around tires from the following: Continental HDR's, Goodyear RSS's or the noisy Michelin XDS2's?

    I have the Michelin XDS2 225/70R19.5 and the noise on my Chevy is about the same as the OEM Bridgestone Duravis M700 265/70R17. Tread looks almost exactly the same. The road noise is very tolerable to me, and what really counts is that the wife says it's OK.
  • I'm not sure what you mean by all around, but I'd go Michelin xds or Hankook DH-01s if you want more aggressive tires.
  • You might want to look at Toyo they have a new tire out the M920
    M920
    I have the 608Z are they are not noisy.
  • Continental HDRs are hard and not real good traction. You could spit under the rear tires and need to go 4wd to move. They have good tread depth and seem to last a long time. I had 70,000 miles on a set and still had 1/2 the tread depth remaining.

    I previously had a set of Michelin XDS and did not like the noise. Sold them and installed a set of Michelin XRV tires. I still have them. Sold the Continental HDRs with the truck.
