FYI Tires for Chevy Colorado

[Neal]

I have a 2017 Chevy Colorado and am now on my 3rd set of tires. It came with Goodyear "Kevlar..." tires and for some stupid reason I replaced with the same on the 2nd set. I would never go with Goodyear personally, but did. The tires were fine initially but they became quite loud after time.

For my new set that I got I'd say around 6 months ago I went with Michelin Defender LTX. Night and day difference, so much better of a ride and quiet.

If you're coming up on new tires for a Colorado (or similar) - consider Michelin's instead of what came on it.

I've decided not to run Goodyear on my vehicles any more. That said, I still think Goodyear Endurance are a good choice for a trailer tire.

When I had the GMC Canyon, I replaced the OEM tires with Toyo AT tires. Much quieter than the original and several hundred dollars less than Michelin. I had almost 40,000 on them before the frame on the Canyon broke and caused me to trailer it home.

Toyota AT's are great tires. I had a set on my Tremor and they worked great for off road and towing. I just replaced them with s set of Falken Wildpeaks. Ill see if they wear as well.

Only complaint with the toys was they got noisy as they got old. Could have been due to an issue with drag links causing strange wear patterns.

I don't off road so I don't think AT tires make sense for my truck. They are quite popular, though.

My Denali originally had the Bridgestone rib tires 275/50-22. I had a problem with a high end 4X4 not having some minor off road or snow capabilities and the tires simply sucked on wet pavement. Near 3,000 miles I replaced them with the Hankook Dynapro RF12. 305/40-22XL.

Now at almost 67,000 miles these tires have been awesome for rode and handling and are still quiet. I see them going to 70K miles easily. I run them near 42 psi. Except for them going up in price I am hard pressed to consider trying anything else. This truck frequently does NY to Florida runs. Looking at tire options also consider size and construction details. The XL rating, reinforced sidewalls help with the handling and steering response. So far, this tire has impressed in every way.
