New Tire Recommendations

Bridgestone R250 LT235/85/16 is what I use after reading a zillion posts on tires.

I am buying a new set of Carlisles. Everyone has an opinion and experience with tires. Keep them properly inflated and stay away from Chinese tire companies. Many American companies make tires overseas, including China, but their standards will be the same if the were made here. Just my opinion...

Sailun 637, Goodyear 614, or Maxxis.

X2 Bridgestone R-250's economical and excellent tires.

We really like our Michelin XPS Rib but I don't know if they are made in the size you need.

A lot depends on what your axles are rated, and whether you want to stick to those ratings when you get new tires.

If you have 6,000 lb. rated axles or under then you can go with a Michelin rib or other "E" rated LT tire. If you have 7,000 lb. axles then your choices are pretty much Sailun or Goodyear in a "G" rated tire. If you chose the "G" rated tires you'd need to ascertain that your rims will handle the higher pressures.

The only thing with Bridgestones R250's that you have to watch is your axle weights. With your Toy Hauler, you might weigh more than I think.. but I would not hesitate to buy Sailun 637's either. Tons of them out there in commercial use, and they are ST rated, but super heavy duty.

Ribs or the Bridgestones as stated.
235/85/16 will fit fine.
Both great tires.
Stay away from Carlisle.
Really bad track record.

Carlisle came out with a new line of tires a few years back and they have had a great track record.

I have a toy hauler with 7000lb axles and Bridgestone R250s. Love 'em.

Oh, I forgot - it's a tri-axle so I'm well under weight rating of the tires.
