My rims are from a 2019 yukon and I have 265/65/18 tires but they are more of an off road tire. They are pretty new but they have a off road hum and I’d like to swap them with a highway tire. Was looking at some Nittos. Any recommendations that won’t bust the bank?
Thanks

Your tires are what separate you from the road, they ought to be the very best, as if your life depends on it because it does.

Michelin Defenders.

you will get a wide variety of opinions on tires. especially road tire's
just consider this
the harder the tire- the more miles you get out of it (at the loss of some grip)
(in-general) the softer the tire- less miles but better grip
that's why you will not get high mileage out of sport tires and if the tire is too soft you get even worse performance
so a middle of the road tire is ideal
my preference is Goodyear Eagle LS2 Sport A/S fantastic tire.
inflation has tire prices up about 25% across the board currently.

Well I decided to go with the Nitto’s. Couldn’t pass up the good deal and I did have them on my Denali and had pretty good luck with them.
Tire kingdom had buy 3 get 1 free and I sold the all terrain ones I had on there for 1/3 of the cost. Nice quiet ride now. I really wanted the Michelin‘s but they are almost twice the price.

Michelin LTX are the best i have ever owned. Great dry, wet and snow traction for a highway tire and super quiet. Look for take off rim swaps with low mile Michelin, that's what i did. Much cheaper and got 18" wheels too so I could do the Big Brake Upgrade.
