need advise on tires

[Forace2007]

Just bought my first avalanche(2002 Z71 4X4) and am now needing tires (265/70/17) on it and was wanting some advise from you guys that have been around with your avs for a while and what you have found to be good tires.  I live in North Carolina so Not much if any snow and so most will be highway miles and opnce in a while pullin a 21 foot boat in and out of lake once in a while.  Thanks in advance for any and all replies  and opinions.

For your usage, I would stick with a P-metric tire instead of an LT, better ride and mileage and less weight.  Personally I have had good luck with Cooper Tires and BF Goodrich.  I have heard good things about  the Kumho Tires as well, especially as far as pricing and ride, but have not tried them myself.  Also quite a few members  on this site use the Nitto tires and seem pleased with them.  Lots of choices out there.

Another tire to consider is Bridgestone Dueller REVO. They're P-metric, good all year road tire. I got 47K out of them. I still had 3K miles left them before I changed them for new tires.

I have had the revos for three years and 25,000 miles and they look nearly new.  I rotate them at every 4500 miles and run them at 38psi.  They are quiet and provide very good traction.

Ditto on the Revos.... I haven them on my weekend vehicle (04 Wrangler) and could NOT be happier with them. Quite, awesome traction, great handling and good looks.

Do yourself a favor and check out the Toyo Open Country AT's  I have a set of LT/285/70R17/D's and like them better than the BFGTAKO's I had.  Snow, ice, standing water, dirt the Toyo Open Country ATs do well in all of it.
