Chevy 2500HD Tires

[Gulfcoast]

Looking for new tires for a Chevy 2500HD. Street tires only, no all-terrain, no mud, no snow. 16" rims. What do you recommend? Thanks

What size?

Running Michelin LTX MS/2's for over 160K miles and will put them on again when the time comes.

For a smooth, quiet ride, I've always been extremely satisfied with Michelin LTX. I've owned 3 sets on 1/2 ton trucks and got 65,000 to 80,000 miles on all 3 sets.

I never took them off road, so I can't speak for that. Anytime we ever experienced any serious winter snow/ice, I would set a 700 lb crate of steel (borrowed from work) in the bed over the rear axle. With the added weight in the rear, my truck felt as safe as anything I've ever driven on snow & ice. And that is comparing it to my son's AWD Subaru Outback with dedicated winter tires.

My two highest priorities in tire performance are normally wet weather traction and a smooth quiet ride. I find the reviews at tirerack.com very helpful in seeing which tires score well in these two categories. I would recommend you take a look at their tire reviews before you decide.

My current 2015 2500HD is still running the factory Goodyear Wrangler SR-A tires in size LT265/60R20. I would give them very high marks for the smooth, quiet, comfortable ride they provide. They still look like new with 15,000 miles on them. I've been in a couple of blinding rain storms pulling a trailer and they have handled it well.
All in all, I have no complaints with the Goodyear Wrangleer SR-A tires.

Always recommend Cooper AT3. Mine are 18s with 3,415 pound per tire, I like excess capacity. I got almost 80k miles out of my set 5 years ago. Just bought new ones this summer. Quiet on the highway but do well in snow. If you drive in mud often, these are not the best. Mines is a pavement princess so they are great.

Michelin LTX MS/2, the LT-E version, worked well for me, excellent gas mileage and longevity. But as soon as you got off the pavement and onto mud or grass they were problematic.

I'm not concerned about price, but a quiet ride is #1 to me.

Bridgestone Duravis.

X2.....or Bridgestone Duravis......have had great results with both.

Depends on budget, driving style and what you want. Put Yokahama Geolanders on my dually two years ago and am very pleased. Decent price, quiet ride. Granted I do not put a lot of miles on my truck, but I load it with 5000 pounds of rock, 3500 pounds of hitch and they dont complain.

Wal Mart house brand Dexteros I went up to 265/75/16 but they have the 245 also. I had good luck with Nexan Rodians also but those were a all terrain tires so I am not sure about their street tire.
