Tires again

I am confused with all I have read. Which is the best riding tire out. In your opinion?

I was looking at the Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO's and the michelin LTX's. The stock tires are a piece of ****. Vibrations on speeds over 60mph.

Thanks

You have a tire warranty. Have them balanced or replaced on adjustment.

I have already did that. It helped alittle but still has some vibration. I cannot believe that all 4 tires are bad. I think that it is a characteristic of the stock tires at that speed.

I had my 03 up at 80mph yesterday (checking roof basket noise) and the truck was very smooth...no tire problems at all.

Are all '03 stock tires the same or are there different brands? Most of the time there are several suppliers of tires for any given year make.

I'm betting Trukman has Generals.

The difference may be the XLT has "P265/70R17 BSW All-Season tires" and the EB has "P265/70R17 OWL tires"
