Default Kumho Ecsta STX or General Grabber UHP
Anyone had a chance to compare these tires? I really dont want to go any smaller than stock. The grabbers in a 255/60 R17 are .5" smaller than stock and the Kumho's in 265/60 R17 are exactly stock size. These are both going on just 17" silvy wheels. thanks guys

i would go with the grabbers, they have a little longer life and have a more attractive tread.

I was on my second set of Kumhos on my Avalanche when I sold it. I liked them.

I put a set of Kumho's on my C5 vette and loved them. Much better traction, less road noise, and smoother ride than the factory Goodyears. I will buy another set for sure .

I heard SOOOO many good things about the UHP's before I bought my set so I got some... I cant wait to get these things off my truck they may last a little bit longer but I get NO traction with these things.
