Best Tires for the GMC Sierra 1500 SLT

I bought these tires in December 2019 for my 03 GMC Sierra and thought that they did a great job. I have never had any trouble with the grip on wet or dry ground. I have also taken them on gravel roads, offroad through woods and pastures. I have never gotten stuck or had a problem with them anywhere. I was actually going to get a new pair of these tires because I liked them so much but Cooper has come out with the Discoverer Road and Trail AT tire that is supposed to be the updated version of this tire so I am purchasing that one instead. The tires lasted for just over 60,000 miles and I probably could have gotten a few thousand more miles out of them if I had rotated them a little more frequently.

Overall I am very happy with this tire and would have purchased again.

These are some of the smoothest riding tires I've had. With that said I wouldn't buy them again and I'm sorry I bought them in the 1st place. The compound is too soft. With the tires inflated properly when I run over a small pothole it feels like I went through a hole one foot deep. It also feels like the tires compress all the way to my rim practically. They don't feel stable as far as how easy it is to stay in your lane with ease. You have to adjust your steering a bit more than other tires I've had. That may be because of what I call the soft compound. Also, I've never seen a tire that fluctuates in tire pressure so much so quickly. As soon as I pull out of my driveway the tires all change from 35 to 39 within seconds. they never end up the same while on the road. I know I can put Nitrogen in them to help with that but my point is that these change so much while driving you never end up with all four feeling the same. Today will be different than tomorrow and so on. I've been driving for 48 years and I've owned dozens of cars and trucks. I've also sold vehicles for a living. In my opinion these tires aren't appropriate for a standard 1500 series pickup truck. I read that these are approved for regular pickup trucks but I disagree. They are very smooth though and they grip the road just fine.
