I bought my son's truck last week when he replaced it. We know it needs tires. OE size is 265/60R18. He wanted something a little larger for looks, and ran 265/65R18; he suggested going back to OE as he thinks these occasionally rub.
BUT ... some models that year used 275/65/18. Do they use a different suspension for that? I ask because a friend took off a new set of Destination LE2 that size for an offroad tire and will give me a great deal. I don't want to raise the truck, it will be strictly on-road.
Assuming I want to stay OE size, 265/60R18, I like Costco. They presently have a $70 Michelin discount which makes the Michelin Latitude Tour, Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus, and BFG Long Trail TA all substantially the same cost. We have the Latitude Tour (OE) on a Chevy Equinox and are very pleased. The Alenza Plus will likely be discounted next month the way Costco does things, but if it doesn't go up is still priced lower than the others.
What would you experts do?
THANKS!
