The ride is great; it certainly does not ride like one would expect from a 2500. Not harsh at all, and I put in Bilstein 4600s to control float/porpoising while towing.

Yes, they are the 16" wheels. 245-75-16 tires. I prefer the ride of a taller tire. I run the tires at the recommended pressures on the door sticker - 50 front, 71 rear.

I think the Suburban rides much better than my half-ton Denali sitting on 275-55-20s. Sure, the Denali looks better, but the Suburban rides better.
A quick check on eBay shows a set of (4) Duratrac in my size and load range for $660/free shipping....that’s about as good a price as I’ve found for ANY decent tire...

Duravis 700 is what I use. I would also powder coat the rims black. You have the same rims I have on my 2500HD
