265/60/17 Tires

[Perro]

I'm going to replace two of my tires (two are in great shape and condition), what brands are you guy's using or recommend for mostly dry weather driving year round? Sam's club has 3, but are out of stock (Falken and Nexen) and 1 is rated H speed (Goodyear) and they won't install it on the Hoe.

thanks!

Is that a factory tire size for a government car?

If it were my truck and I wanted highway tires, well, none other than Michelin LTX M/S in an LT tire, not a car tire. My regular Yukon XL takes 265-70-17 size tires.

I'm well pleased with my BFG KO2s in a 6 ply LT tire.

yes they are the factory size , my use is mostly street/highway driving. thanks James.

Just an update to our tire situation.

I had Goodyear Foretera tire installed today. They are 245/65R17 tires which are identical in diameter to the stock 265/60R17 tire. The tires were only $109 a piece

The only difference appearance wise is the wide is slightly smaller - approx. 1" skinnier.

Got some photos of them on your truck Mark?

I don't like it, they look too small for me compared to the 265/60
