Not that it bothers you southern kids much, but the SR-As on the new trucks are complete crap in the snow. Even the AT/Ses that came on my GMT900 were better. I can't wait for these things to wear out so I can put some better shoes on it. These trucks are too good to have such shit tires put on them.

I'm not picking on you, your's was just the most recent post talking about the stock tires.. What are good tires to replace the stock ones with? I don't mean something that just "looks" more aggressive or whatever, but actually performs well? This is an open question to all you guys who don't like the stock tires.

Thanks! :cheers:
It depends on what you're planning on doing in the long run... I had fantastic luck with the BFG AT KO's on my Blazer. I've haven't really come across anything bad about the new KO2's, and if I don't go with a mud tire, it's what I'm going to be getting when I replace my 6 POS Geolandars.

All sizes of the KO2 AT's are also sporting the mountain and snowflake symbol... If they do as advertised and perform better than the older AT's, then you'll pretty much never have to worry about getting stuck, anywhere you go... And on my Blazer, I was able to chew/dig through 3 feet of snow in the ditch :thumbs:

Yep, no chance that thing will have problems anytime soon. :uhoh:



It's tall enough, though, maybe he thinks he won't need to check under the floor mats?? :uhoh: :jester:


:lolup:

I canceled the appointment to go check out a new one yesterday due to the ole ladies high school reunion. The lifted truck is at a car lot I bought from in the past. I'm going check it out tomorrow..


Unless you have $5k sitting aside to fix problems, avoid that truck like the plague. I get the temptation, but you're asking for trouble buying a used, lifted truck.

Probably 98% or more of the miles put on the truck will be on paved roads with some light off road stuff when I go to CO and elsewhere.. So, all terrain, mud, etc. isn't a HIGH concern. But, I want to make sure I don't lean too much towards street use (which I did with the Denali) and limit the vehicles abilities too much when I do get a chance to hit some trails and things in CO, WY, MT, etc..
