Default 2016 Suburban - Tire Recomendations?

At 30K miles, need to replace original OEM tires on 20" rims. Mostly freeway driving. Yes, have rotated, balanced, and aligned regularly and wear pattern is good - simply wore out. 30K seems low yet fairly consistent with other owners I have talked to with the same tires. (I get 60K per set on my other suburban). What other brands are others replacing with and happy with? Thanks.

Michelin is the way to go, but they are expensive. The other one I have had the best luck with is BF Goodrich. I only got 38K on my OEM tires.

thats all you get on factory tires.
I love goodyear duratracs. All season tire that is fantastic in the snow. Great life expectancy, quiet tire but for a 20inch rim will be $1700 range in canada

I have Duratracs on my Suburban, and they'll be going on both Jeeps when they need new tires, but for mostly highway driving I'd recommend the Michelin Defender LTX. Just put a set on my Denali, and so far they're great. I also expect them to last at least 70,000 miles. I did a lot of research online, and they're pretty much universally praised as a great all-season highway tire for trucks. Got my set at Costco, about $900 out the door for 275/55/20 tires.
