Best tire for tbss stock wheels

[TexazReece]

As stated I wanted to know what is the better tire to run on SS stockers? I will not be lowering my TB either. Also I was looking @ some tpms for them as well and wanted to ask about getting them off ebay ( if anybody has done what is the preferred to purchase ) or going oe route ?

Prada Spec-X's... in the 245/75 series...very popular in the SS field and thats what I'll be running when i chew up my RSA's..

Probably 20" tires.

I got 45K out of my RSAs. Now I'm running Prada Spec-X. Frankly, I can't tell the difference. I did drive in really deep snow with the RSAs, and they did really well.

I bought TPMS on Ebay. They work fine. I'll see if I can find the seller info.

Hankook Ventus RH06, if the Paradas are similar to the Goodyears then Id steer the he|| away from them! I have absolutely nothing positive to say about the RS-As, hands down the WORST tire Ive ever owned (for the TrailVoy guys, even worse than my Toyo Open Country A/Ts on the 02)!

That said, I know a bunch of guys who really like the Paradas and they work well with our TBSSs, I just went with the Ventus' because Ive wanted them for 3+ years and they've proven to do well in dry, wet, and light snow.

Do yourself a favor and run 275/45R20 and not 255/50R20, cheaper tires and they're wider as well.

I agree....275/45/20 are the way to go. Had them on my envoy I had. They look good stock or on a lowered 360.

Ditto on this. I put the Hankook's on and have never looked back. They grip, they grab, the ride is awesome, and they look aggressive. Enough said.

hankooks, now the nitto 420s, both have been great

Cooper Zeon LTZ 275/55/20 or 285/50/20!!! You'll also need a lift and wheel spacers to make them fit.

Just a question....why don't u wanna lower??? Personal choice or just don't wanna mess w/ suspension?? OR are u going up?

 

[TexazReece]

If I had an ss I would lower it but I prefer being in the middle of both lowered and lifted for Mayo

Well Im not running stock wheels, Ive got Factory Rep 20x10s wrapped in 295/45R20 Ventus RH06 all around on my SS. A bit wider and taller than the 275/45R20s for a stock wheel, but they look good and handle really well. I cant believe how much more wet grip I have vs the RS-As (also helps I went 40mm wider :wootwoot but the road noise decreased substantially.

This is the thread I made on TBSSOwners about finally getting it done a few weeks ago: Pics of my white SS with FR 20x10s - TBSSOWNERS.com Forums - The #1 TrailblazerSS Dedicated Owners Forum

I have the Hankook Ventus RH06 in 275s on my SS and love them. They are WAY better than the RSAs in all areas.
