Tire recommendations for pick up truck for towing
I have a 2018 Silverado 1500 LT that use to pull my TT. Looking for suggestions for quality tires for my truck. Not really interested in Chinese products. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Whatever you choose be sure it's a "D" or "E" load range.
Look up the axle rating then pick a "Load Index Rating" that meets or exceeds the axle rating.
Load E can have a variety of actual load ratings. The letter grades are an old system from the days when they added extra plys to the tire to make it stronger. The more plys the further into the alphabet the letter grade went.
Modern tires don't add plys. They change the steel in the tire without adding plys.
Load Index Rating gives you the actual capability in pounds.
