I have a 2002 silverado 1500 4x4 extra cap and I went with the Toyo tires. They have more meat on them than any tire I've seen and they wear like iron. I currently have 90,000 on the truck. The original Firestones wore out quickly mostly because of a posi rear lock up. They don't tell you at GM that they use a break in fluid on the axle lock rears and after 20K if you don't change it the posi locks on you. I made an appointment for 4 days later and wore the backs right off on the hot july pavement.

I bought the Toyo open country in the stock 265 size. I put them on at 35k and now I have 90k and they are still fine. I rotate them ever 10 and these are the best tires I have ever owned.

I drive about 50-60K per year in CT and we see out share of heat and snow. I have a 7 1/2 foot Boss plow on my truck, I pull a 16 foot trailer loaded all the time and drive as hard as anyone. 75 on the highway and hard on the side roads. I will never buy another tire. I've had Michelins, Good Year, Firestones, BF goodrich, those junk Sidewinders and all of them. They Toyo's are the best. We have a chain called Town Fair Tire around here. They sharpen their pencil if you deal with them. ANY tire place will negotiate. Check out Tirerack.com, this is a great place to buy them and have the local gas station mount and balance them.

I normally don't reccommend a product but these Toyo's are as good as they get.
