Changing ps tires to LT tires? Which ones?

We have a 2008 Tahoe. I need to change out the ps tires to LT for towing. Am I right in that I just need the LT tires on the back? Can I keep my ps tires on the front?
Also which Lt tires would you recommend?
Thanks!!!!
  • Well the tires we have on now are p265/70r17 so I guess we should stay with that size except LT ones Right?
  • What size are you buying? I've had good luck with several brands of load range E light truck tires.
  • Ohh ok,, didnt think about the transfer of weight on to the front tires also.
    Well crud,, thats another 500.00. Maybe I can find some real good used ones. Hmmm

    Also which brand would you recommend?
  • No, you should change all 4. If you are towing and have a WDH it will transfer weight to the front axle as well.
  • Install 4 new tires and go. Not real smart to install different types of tires on a vehicle.
