New Vision's and Michelin tires!
Well, my Vision wheels and MIchelin XDS2 tires finally arrived and have been balanced and installed, and they are awesome! 245/70R19.5 at 70psi rides way better than my OEM Michelin LTX AS2 265/70R17 ...

Yes, I really, really like the 19.5 set-up (Vision and Michelin) the truck is defiantely more surefooted and feels safer than the OEM set-up. The wheels & tires are heavier, and I notice them on take-off and landing. With the TC off, I have to air down, but even if I don't, they're not that bad, not as bad as I thought they might be.
Rolling down the hyway, the truck just glides along, almost effortlessly. Around town, I feel like I'm in charge, the truck moves like one of the big boys, demanding its space. Okay, I'm getting carried away a little, but it does feel great, with and without the TC on!
I'm jealous I called around and I was told that Chevy / GM trucks should not have the 19.5's put on. They told me with the independent front suspension, and the components that make it a "softer" ride, with those tires I would be running through replacing front end parts. Kind of discerning as I was hoping to get something more than load range E tires of my truck eventually.
