I've had real good luck with BFG All terrains. They work well on wet roads and on snow.

 

Great suggestions, thanks.

 

I have an 04 555 305 stock LB 2x2....with Michelin A/S.
I have 600 lbs of gravel in a crib over the rear axle...otherwise truck will step out with anymore than very, very light throtle aplication.

 

The Michelin LTX 265's that came as original equipment have given me excellent service in all types of road conditions. It's a plain highway tread. That includes two New England winters as well with the 4x4 assist of course. I run 55lbs in all positions except when towing then 80lbs. Some of the aggressive AT tires with a larger footprint have less pound per square inch being exerted on a paved surface, and therefore potentially less traction especially when wet. It's something to consider if your having control problems. I also don't drive like a teenager, and that helps keep me hooked up...

I like my Cooper Discoverer ATRs in dry/rain/snow - you name it. They aren't as noisy and seem to wear better then BFG ATs and the traction is easily just as good even though they may not look quite as aggressive. I like the price tag a lot better on the Coopers too.

 

welcome to the world of limited slip, wait until it is icy. who hoo.

I have toyo mt 295/70's rains alot here, and no problems unless I am the cause.

 

The stock michelins definately are horrible are gripping up in wet conditions.

Had the truck at 40mph, took rpms up to 2200 to make a pass on a wet day and wheee, truck broke tires loose and tried to take a few mailboxes home.

Never have I been as scurred and confused as I was that day. Never would have imagined a truck being able to break tires loose going 40...

 

X2!! Plowed right through the last rainstorm we got!

 

BFG Goodrich TKO's

The stock Michelins are great for LONGEVITY (50K+) & DRY roads. Rain & especially snow will make you wish you had different tires. I've read and heard of too many trucks losing it with those tires in the snow/ice.

Mine cost me $570 installed for the complete set (I sold my originals, got some $$$, then BF Goodrich had a $50 Rebate going).

 

I didn't think the stock Michelins on my truck did well at all on wet pavement. I was glad to be rid of them.

I bought a set of new H2 wheels and tires (315/70/17 BFGs) for $800. I sold the wheels for $200 (I just can't make myself like them), so in essense gave $600 for four brand new BFGs. If you have a hummer dealer close, and are interested in the BFGs, I'd give the parts department a call. Can save some pretty serious $$$!

As far as handling, I'm really liking them. They do very well on wet pavement. I've had them on for almost 6,000 miles.
