IMHO: You can't do any better than the Michelin LTX M/S 2's. I put a set on my F-150 SCAB when we were towing our 22', 5,000# TT and smooth ride and great handling was off the chart. They come with a 70,000 mile warranty and if you shop around cost little more than the junk that is also out there.
Almost there years ago sold the truck and TT and moved up to a 24' Class C. It came with the old Michelin M/S and our 2012 coach ended up being right in the middle of the big Michelin recall. Got 6 brand new LTX M/S 2's {balanced and mounted}, for free. Michelin always stands behind their product. I have about 20,000 miles on this set and they look like new.
Adding a new set of shocks will also make a world of difference. Recently {at 33,000 miles}, replaced the originals on the motorhome with a set of heavy duty Bilstein's and they are amazing. When I had the F-150 I replaced with a set of Monroe's and again the difference was huge.
Day to day you tend to not notice that your shocks are wearing out but add a new set of quality units and the improvement will blow your mind. Tires and shocks are just about the best way to insure a safe, quality ride. Always money well spent.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV.
