I'm running Toyo Proxes S/T's and if you lower your truck you'll get your street corner carving.

I have toyo proxes 305/60/18's and they are soooo sweet. They are quiet and hang in there around corners like no other. They are a bit pricy, but worth every penny.
I also have the Toyo and agree with everything but the pricy part, I payed $116.oo each for mine.

I have Pirelli Scorpion Zero 275/60/16's on my truck and I LOVE them, probably the best tires I have ever driven on.

Their handling/traction dry and wet is unbelieveable. They are very quiet tires as well and dont squeal on high G turns.

Get these tires you wont be disappointed!
hey do u have any pix of those and your truck?
Yeah Marine post some pics of those bad boys (the rims/tires). I'm interested in seeing them too. Also, will those tires fit the stock 16" steel Silverado rims? I'm not sure because their 16x6 unlike the other 16" rims some Silverados have.

Heres some crappy pics I took a while back of my tires and wheels. My crappy old digital camera is broken so I cant take any new ones, for now at least.

My truck's wheels are the factory 16" wheels so I dont see why my tires wouldnt fit on any other factory GMC/Chevy 16" wheel.

Anyway here are the links to the pics

I GOT THE 265/60R18'S AND THEY HAVE BEEN A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT,POOR UNPREDICTABLE WET TRACTION, AVERAGE DRY TRACTION AND AFTER 11000 MILES THEY ARE ABOUT 75 TO 80% WORN OUT.THE ONLY GOOD THING I CAN SAY IS AT LEAST THEY WORE OUT EVENLY.
