I have a 96 5.9 gas to wheel. I'm just finished restoring it, goes to the body shop in 10 days for all repairs and paint. They're going to replace only exterior accessories and parts that I can find for sale.
I would very much like to find the smoothest writing 16-in tires on the planet. I live in Las Vegas. Snow, rain are not an issue here. Never go off the road. Do not carry heavy loads. If I didn't love the truck I would get a Camry. Is there anyone know of new skins that would really improve the ride. Thank you guys, I appreciate it. Russ

Michelin Defender LTX M/S comes to mind!

Thank you I will check them out. It is really good to have the experience of so many truck people in one place. I can post a question and get a hundred years of answers.

When you drive North on I-15
Just as you pass the Auto Racing Track & the Las Vegas Dump.

There is a Highway 93, it connects to the 319.
Which connects to the 56, which goes to Cedar City.
It is all 2 lane desolate road.

I could not Legally drive on I-15 into Cedar City, so i had to go the other route.
It was raining & i had to avoid Wild Horses, Coyotes, etc.
My Michelins held those roads very nicely.

I was able to drive back into Las Vegas on I-15
That area called The V*RGIN River Gorge is something else, those tall walls are ominous, just waiting for Rock Slides :(

Yeah, I've used these tires a few times. They are nice and quiet. On a 16" wheel, with all that sidewall height, they should be ultra comfy.
I definitely agree...

I roll on them in LT295/65R20 (equivalent to 35's) with 40psi (cold adjusted) on my OEM 20x9 Warlock rims for my summer set up and it's perfect!
