Tires that dont pick up stones ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72MARIO · 04-30-2006, 07:03 PM

I am looking for recomendations for a good tire that will not pick up many stones. Mabye a Protouring type tire ? I have Defenders right now and they pick up every rock on the road.

I need 255/60 and 275/60 on 15" rims.

Thanks,

Mario

My right rear doesn't pick up much, but it gets a little squirely in the rain now though.

My rear tires dont pick up any more stones but the fronts sure are wrecking the paint I also need new rears they have traction issues now.

Anyone ?

My new T/A Radials haven't picked up too many yet. My Dayton Daytona SR's sure picked up alot when they were new, so I don't recomend them.

Good Luck

T/A Radials are what I was looking a they are 135 each....CDN money. The drags are nice too but closer to 230 each.

Anyone else ?

I'm gonna have to second the T/A's, mine don't seem to pick up much.

mine haven't picked up a single rock! I bought them NEW about 3 months ago.

I think they are Khumo's

Mine do pretty good at throwing huge rocks. We're talking golf ball size, so I don't have much of a problem.

Here's another vote for the BFG T/A Radials.
I don't know of too many problems (knock on wood) that I've had.

Wear is EXCELLENT too.
