Hey guys recommend some tires will ya......

Bridgestone Dueler and Alenza are a good tire. I've heard a lot of good things about the Nitto 420 which will be my next tire. I currently run Goodyear Eagle LS-2. They are fine but I'm sure there are better tires out there. Just do NOT go cheapo on the tires. Your ride will suffer greatly for it.

Overall, I like them fine. The handle well on both dry and wet pavement and on relatively well maintained roads all is smooth but there are a couple of spots in town where I can feel the bumps in the road much more significantly that I used to than I did when I was rolling on the 17's. It could be just a case of small sidewall making the difference but I also wonder if a different tire would make a difference. :shrug:

they dont have a long lasting treadlife at all.

If you want a solid 20" tire, hands down the best option is the Michelin LTXMS2. 70,000 mile tread life, warrantied, the last set of tires you'll buy for a long time.

That is for sure and they look pretty plain. That Michelin is one of the best tires I have seen in a long while. I went with the Cooper zeon ltz. I work for Discount Tire and had the opportunity to go to a Cooper ride and drive. I was very impressed with the looks and traction of this tire. I would spend the extra money to get a top quality tire.

:Handshake: I have put the Michelin's down as possibility for when I replace these Goodyears.

FWIW i lowered my tahoe and installed 22" with the 285/45/22 BS Alenza and i didnt lose any mileage i still pull 17.5-18.1 on highway trips doing 70-75mph. I went from factory 20 BS Alenza's and i can feel a difference with the 22's on. I never felt the road with the 20's and now i can feel much more of the road. Same tire just went from 20's to 22's. However i have seen many of the BS Alenza's exceed 70k miles, 1 set has over 100k on them and still evenly worn and prob about 4-5/32nds. So it is knod of a give and take with the BS'S.

Nice wheels bro.......when they going on?

I really like Yokohama Paradas, great ride, quiet and nice tread life. Out of stock when I switched to 22s, I don't care for these Alenzas.
