I was wondering if anyone knows what is a good replacement tire for the SS besides the Goodyears I am in need of new tires and want something that looks good on there and do good in the winter.

Slicks :jester:

 

I have always like Toyo's. I have Toyo Proxes, but they wouldn't work well in the winter. Maybe some Open Countrys?

Sumitomo has a 285/50/20. Don't have them on my SS but have some 275/40/17 on a 92 Vette and they're pretty good for the money.

I just put Pirelli Scorpion ATR 275/55/20.

Quiet,good dry/wet traction, very good in the snow compared to the stock Goodyears. 50,000 mile rated.

Downside, they are heavier than the stock Goodyears

$140.00 each @ Discount Tire

I put General Grabber UXPs on mine about 6 months ago. I love them so far. They're rated as more of a summer tire, but thety do great in the rain. We had a couple of snow/ice days this winter, and they did fine. Much better than the original Goodyears.

I have been running Yokohama Parada Spec-X (stock size) for about a month. Definite upgrade over Goodyear (wet and dry handling, ride). I'll have to run them a bit longer to add any more comments, though.

Take a look at Cooper Tires, they have the Discoverer H/T Plus and it comes in our factory size. I don't have them yet, but they are what I plan on buying when my Goodyears need replacing.

Love the Grabber I put on my SSS..Got them for an awesome price.... 285/50/20.. Grip well, and hold nice turns... A little noiser then the GY EAgles but .... not that bad. Better ride quality by far!

i have those coopers 275/55/20 on my other VHO and they look great and without a doubt is a better tire than that good year crap

I've had Yokohama AVID SUV's on my SS for almost 25000 miles now ... barely noticed any wear on them ... I feel good that they'll last a long time.

 

I think it's safe to say that pretty much any tire out here will outperform the stock Goodyears. I was amazed when I got my Yokes on how much of a difference they made ... I can't even chirp them ... :banghead:

 

Heck, I can't even get them to break loose when it rains ... :banghead:

 

BUT ... they make an awesome wet and dry weather tire. Quiet, too. Picked them up for $125 ea. from a distributor in Asheville, NC.

 

:cheers:
