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.
Welcome to the forum Roger. Asking a which brand tire (any product) question on a forum and you get answers all over the place.
I use the wifes '16 1500 chevy 4wd 5.3 pulling a couple of bumper pull 10k and 12k flatbed trailers.
Having towed for a living with LDTs I'm not a fan of big tires so I stick OEM 17" for her truck.
After the OEM Bridgestone 684 II P265/70-17 all season wore down close to the wear bars at 38k miles I had Discount Tire install a set of Bridgetone LTH in the same P size. The LTH are a very quite all season tire. The P tires handle both trailers just fine with my tall 7600 lb blue tractor with a cab.
I'm not a fan of D or E tires on a 1/2 ton truck. I've tried using them but always went back to a P or a C load range tire.
I bought a set of used 17" wheels and had DT mount a set of Goodyear Duratrac LT265/70-17 AT C load range for muddy worksites/pasture work and any winter snow events.The Duratrac are called a all terrain but tread is a lot like a MT tires tread. They do the job in mud and snow.
