Replying to: claires (Oct 27, 2006 5:05 pm) Hello, not sure if this is the right place for me,   I'm a worker with a 2007 chev express 2500. This van works for a living, as do I.   Would appreciate any experience regarding the best tires and any related info about tire pressure and front end issues.   Feel free to e-mail me   John Replies to this message: jgarnaas (Jul 10, 2009 6:50 pm) cndworker (Jul 11, 2009 2:14 am)

John There are two different things to consider.   Tire load capacity and Performance   Load capacity is controlled by size and inflation pressure. With a 2500 (3/4 ton) I suspect you plan on carrying some loads. Your van came with a Tire Placard that specifies the original tire size and the recommended inflation for the expected load. You should not run a smaller size tire or less inflation unless you have put the van on a scale to be sure you are not overloading the tires.   For "Performance" or Ride, Hanbling, Wet, Dry and Snow traction. The first question I would ask as a tire engineer is "What do you like about your current tire and What do you not like?"  Once you have identified the performance characteristics that you want then the tire engineer or sales person has the information needed to fill your wants.
