Has anybody noticed that has the factory Goodyear LS 255/65/16 tires seen to have marked decrease in there handling after 8000-9000 miles. I checked the air pressure and it is right at 35 pounds . Since I rotated the tires at about 8000 miles( a month ago)the truck doesn.t seen to handle quite the same as it did befroe 8K miles.Is it just me or have others noticed this problem also?

Did you just get a rotation or an alignment as well. It seems odd that you'd have reduced preformance after that. Check for abnormal/uneven tire wear.

I hated the factory tires from the start. I preffered my studded tires more than them.

Now I only use them to switch out my rear when I carry heavy loads or take trips to low profile unfriendly places.

I recently swapped out the stock tires with Kumho ESTA "H" rated tires which improved the handling immensely!
