Hi USA1 Z06,
Welcome to the Chevy Forums!

I consider myself lucky that I got the E-rated tires on my truck stock, or I might never have even known about them.

My E-rated Bridgestone V-Steel LT245-75R-16 tires are THE ONLY OEM thing which I've replaced with original parts on my truck since I got it. Now,I personally prefer a stiff ride, and if you do, these tires are it. The original set(at 80PSI front and back) went 65,000 miles with regular rotations. IMO, the best tires I've ever had on any vehicle, hands down.

I used an inexpensive set of custom cast aluminum rims to replace my stock wheels, 12,000 miles and no problems. They handle hard use (slowly) going up over curbs, and the rare off-road very well. They're great hauling, and are absolutely incredible highway tires.
