I need new tires on a 2007 half ton (2 wheel drive) Chevy Silverado
pickup. The originals are General (Ugh) and have not lasted well.
I rotate tires every other oil change and check inflation at least
monthly. Still at under 30,000 miles, the tread is badly worn down
and I doubt if it would pass inspection.

So I would like suggestions on brands and things to look for.

Next question: Do extra ply tires wear better and what are other
advantages and disadvantages?

Is braking distance a factor in brands and extra ply?

All suggestions are appreciated, and thanks for reading.
