So....what tires would you recommend I should have gotten? Costco has a pretty generous return policy!
In any event, I just ordered the ProPride, for good or bad or waste of money.....will just have to see what happens at the 11.8% weight with that!
You have Defender LT's right? Try 60F/65R. The are great tires. And FYI, its not Costco that has a great return policy, its the tire companies. Many have 60 day grace periods now and very inclusive 1 year warranties. I just found this out myself, having one tire out of round and not able to be balanced after 6-7 months of driving on it. Michelin took care of me.
Good move on the Propride. Cant go wrong with that or the Hensley. Each have their issues and their mechanisms are the exact same to the fraction of an inch. You wont enjoy hooking up for awhile, but the effort pays huge dividends.
A "light" tongue weight of 10-11% will be perfect seeing the hitch head weighs about 150lbs on its own, plus 50lb for the draw bar/stinger.
But did you order 1400lb bars? If not, call now and change the order. You'll thank me later!
