Several years ago I replaced a (second?) set with on-sale Michelins for my '04 Silverado.
Got about 70K on them but time's running out.
So I'm talking to another old geezer about my next set and he sez "Y'know there's a right tire and a wrong tire for that truck..." and then he trailed off (or I did) and never did get the answer.
Bottom line (literally) is much as I love my old truck I don't want to spend a ton of money.
Advice appreciated.
Thanks!

70,000 miles on a set of tires is fantastic. I would buy them again!

You're right! That would be my first option. But Michs are expensive. I need to have enough $ to pay for the new good quality Chevy-matched set!

Last set of tires I bought for my wife's car was actually purchased on Amazon, for about 60% (installed) of what the local "Tire Discounters" store wanted for the same set of tires. AND that included installation at a local tire shop of my choice - Amazon ships to them, and you make an appointment at the time you are purchasing the tires on Amazon, for when you want the tires installed - usually a week or two out to allow for shipping. The morning of your appointment you show up, and its already paid for through Amazon.

You may want to check into that if money is a factor. It was a good enough experience where I plan to do it it soon for my 2006 Silverado, for a full set of 5. I was underneath recently and am seeing dry rot on the spare, so its time to replace the spare, which is likely the original GM supplied one...
