2006 Yukon XL 2500 tires
Picking up this next week. Has a 6.0 and 4.10 gears. Will be Used for our camper of course. Need suggestions for tires. The ones on it are ok for the time being but would be more confident with new on...

Will you be using it in snow? Or is this a summer only vehicle and the most it is going to see is rain?
I have loved all of the Michelin tires I have ever had. I like the fact they have full tread depth sipes and this helps maintain traction performance even with lots of miles.
My 1 ton Express van had Bridgestone V-Steel Rib 265 tires on it. Surprisingly, this tire was very good in the rain and even in the snow. I was on track to get at least 60k miles out of them. I am assuming my van probably weighed more than your Yukon will, so maybe they wouldn't be as great on your truck.
Be careful stepping up a size or even two. The OEM wheels on your truck were designed for a 245 tire. Yes, there are lots of people out there that have gone to 265 or 285 tires...I can tell you I didn't like the way my 2004 2500 Suburban handled with 265's.
