Tow Truck Tire Recomendation
I need some advice and recommendations on tow truck tire recommendations. I recently picked up a low mileage 2004 Silverado Extended Cab Truck. The truck comes with 4 x 4 (Z71 Off Road Package), 3.73 gear ratio, 5.3 liter engine and towing package. The listed maximum towing capacity is 8,500 pounds. I use an E2 WDH. The truck has Bridgestone P265/75R16 radial tires which I need to replace.
The travel trailer is Heartland Mallard M231 which is 26 foot with a dry weight of 5,040 pounds. The travel weight, after loading with all the stuff is will be around 6,200 pounds. The tongue weight is less than 500 pounds.
I need advice on tires. The P265s have got to go. Do I need D or E rated truck tires? I found several truck tires in town but it is somewhat confusing which tires to purchase.
Thanks for your help.
