Tires

I am interested in getting new tires for my truck and trailer. I am thinking Michelin Defenders. Don't know about what size for 5'r yet cause its in storage. Any views? Any brand? I only use it three weeks of the year and the bridgestones are cracked. I now have tire covers to help with that problem.
  • Just got home from winter trip to Texas with my new Maxxis 8008 and they were flawless. Never needed air for the 5K miles or so we towed. Now on the second set of Michelin LTX M+S2's on the truck and they gave me great service, too. Only knew about Maxxis from reading this list. Previous tires were Marathons.

    Post the year and model of your FW and someone here will know what tires you have, assuming they're factory-original.

    How true, tho if I had to guess I'd say Goodyear Marathon tires have the slightly better reputation out of a bad lot of other brands.
