my Goodyears aren't doing so great in wet conditions. Suggestions for replacements?

I use Goodyear Wrangler R/T's and I love them. Rain or whatever. But that was on my old ford truck. I have used goodyear for 10 years. I still have stock tires on my 2001 LS Silverado so I cannot comment on how these work on these trucks.
I had 2.75 rear end on my ford which may have something to do with the traction. PLus It was a 3speed truck.

They are the factory 16" wheel that came on the truck with 285/75/16 Bridgestone Dueler M/T's. I got that set of tires for $100

yea i have 285 75 16s on my truck now too on 16 inch rims

i think they are the rims thaty have the chrome facing that is on a steel rim

I like how they look but i feel like they are cheap
im nut sure of the brand i have

how did you get those for 100?

[jeverett]

The guy that had them rode on one flat and destroyed it, so I bought the good 3 and the messed up one for $100. Then my buddy who had the same kind and size had a blowout and gave me the best out of the remaining 3, the tread is just barely worn a little more than the others, but who cares

[storemike]

I called around for prices on the BFGs and one fellow said he wouldn't advise me getting them. His comments reflected those of others who complained about balancing issues. He then recommended Cooper Discoverer ATRs. Has anyone tried these?

Thanks again,
Mike

the best tires i have bought. came from a farm store called big blue. thay were no name tires but you could get them for next to nothing and 50k miles was not uncommen.
to bad the stores went belly up. every one would ask me how long the tiires last me. I would say a year and one haft. back then i was driving 100 miles a day 6 days a week. every 30 days its was time for a oil change, tire rotation and wash.

hey jeverett! did those tires fit without a lift or anything?? right now i hav 245 75 16's on mine but they looka little too small on my truck.i went to the tire warehouse and they suggested 265s but didnt say anything about the 285s so i figured they wouldnt fit. Did u do any mods to the height or anything in order for those tires to fit?? and how much is ur odometer off by??

[01silverado03z400]

What is the biggest tire that would fit on a 4x4 silverado without it being raised?? and wer can i get my speedometer reset? (sorry for putting odometer in the previous post, i was rushing and didnt think about it)

I've cranked the torsion bars a little bit, but not too much. Other than that, They fit without a problem. You might can get away without dointg any modification to it. I know 4 rounds on the t-bars will give you just enough lift to fit the 285's and not rub anywhere.

As for the speedo/odo, I checked it with my GPS the other day, and it said that I was dead on...or about as close as it's going to be. I also have a custom tune, not factory. I still feel like its lying though. I need to have it checked out.

I have 2 agree with whitelightning here, my 2004 GMC VHO with the same Gdyr Eagle 20's do just fine here in TX rain....
