Which Tires?

Something has come up and I have to make a road trip this weekend and I have to have tires by Saturday. So ordering online is out. I have shopped around locally today and

here are the only two that I can find that are close to what I want. I'm just looking for some input on which i should roll with.

 

Cooper Discoverer HT Plus $175 ea mounted and balanced plus tax

dealer includes free rotations and free one time balance check

Are steel belts a problem on trucks?I have older Falkens on my C5 and they have worked out well.

Thanks

 

Not sure about the coopers but I know the falkens are steel belted. As long as the coopers aren't steel belted then I would go with them.

hancook is the best I have had.

 

I looked up the reviews on the Hankook ST RHO6 Tires and it gets great ratings. I may go with these myself instead off the Kumho Ecsta STX Tires. Ratings on them are not that great.

I have gotten a crazy amount of miles out ouf the three sets i have owned, My old truck was a 4.8l 2wd. I had 275 45 20's hancooks and we had a terrible ice/snow storm, of course i could makes it slide but it did great. I never noticed the road noise.

Not to take away from the topic at hand, coopers BTW.

 

But I'm looking for tires myself, and I'm quite loyal to Bridgestone / Firestone tires, but I'm looking at a set of General Grabber UHP's.

 

So it's down to General Grabber UHP's vs Firestone Destination ST's vs Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport's.

 

Anyone got some advice? Kinda leaning towards General's... but my loyalty is holding me back

I just got the Destination ST's on my truck about 2 weeks ago. So far im pretty happy with them. Havent really driven them hard, or in the rain yet though.

 

 

I think I'm gonna rock the ST's too, the General's are directional, so the spare tire will be set for one side and if I do get a blowout, I have to hope it's on the side the spare is set for. I like Firestone better, though if you buy 4 new general tires you get a $50 visa gift card cus of 5 fast 5 furious coming out. lol
