Default Review of 07 Wrangler HP Tires

I'm looking to purchase a set of 07 Tahoe Wheels with the Wrangler hp tires on them (25% wear).
If you have these tires or have used them in the past, what do think about them? How do they handle in wet or snow conditions.
I've heard some bad reviews, but I'm not sure who to believe, so if you can help, please let me know.

thanks.

By the way, I'm installing these wheels on my 01 Tahoe, I assume they would fit without a problem?

Should bolt up they both need to be six hole lug nuts. Offset will be different the newer tahoe rims are more of a positive offset than the 01 tahoe. I have O7 Tahoe rims 17" and also 17" wrangler goodyear tires.

I had those tires on mySierratruck anddidNOT like them. They seemed to wear quickly and I did not like the way they handled in wet weather. On the flip side, Bridgestone Duelers workedgreat on that truck.

I had them on my 07 burb and didn't like them. Like the post above, it's not a good wet weather tire. i sold mine when, i switched my rims. not worth keeping as a winter replacement. just used my rims all year round. i would like to buy new stock rims and tires for winter use though, for the right price.

Thanks for all the feedback. I ended up finding a very good set of an 07 Tahoe Z71, 18" wheels with Bridgestone Duelers. They look great, but are just a bit noisier than the Michelins I had. What a difference from the stock 16" wheels!!!

Edit: Actually the road noise is much louder with the Duelers, I hope to get used to it fast, kind of annoying.

I had 31x1050 GFB AT's on my 97 Tahoe and it gave it such a cool looking Tonka look. My wife wants me to put them on the 07 but the all-terrains really jack up the ride, noise and roughness wise that and I have the 20's I'd have to down size the rims to get a proper fitment on my 2 wheel drive without doing a lift kit.
