1994 Chevrolet Suburban K1500 4x4. I need some tires for it, what do you guys use on your trucks, assuming you have one. It has Michelin LTX M/S on there now, and they have been pretty good. It's not something i'll ever take offroad really, nothing more than dirt/snow/ice so I dont want an all terrain. It'll spend 90% of the time on the road, so a nice quiet tire is what i want. 265/75/16. Also I see the BFG Long Trail T/A's have good reviews. What do you guys think? No I won't resize :D Get a bigger monitor!

Do you still have the Dodge or was that "repo'd"? Minus the paint job that was a nice ride!

i'd stick with the michelins if it was me. they cost more up front, but they wear longer.

Yeah we got our money's worth on this set. I think we have 110k on them, and they are begging to be replaced. They have about 10% left, but they're cracking and whatnot.

Negative, took that back down to my dad when i got my driveshaft fixed. He took this Suburban off his insurance and it's been sitting there for a month or two doing nothing. Said i could have it if i fixed the ABS module. Found a used one for a bill and that should do the trick. It has a recent trans rebuild and a new rear axle.
