I just went to the Darkside about 2-3 months ago after reading alot about it on the forums. I went with the GYTT 205/60/16, and I'm very happy with it so far. Tired of buying two rear tires a year. Running 30psi seems to be about the sweet spot so far. Good luck with whatever you decide on.

I'm running a Bridgestone Turanza 195/60-16... I love it! It handles great and is really smooth! There was another member on here that changed from another brand to the Bridgestone and was greatly impressed with how well it rode. You may look into it.

Still would like to know anyones thoughts on the Bridgstone Blizzak.
I dont think this tire will fit on a 1500?

Probably not. My 2007 is a 1600 and the 205 will fit. Not sure what the max width is that will fit a 1500.
