Ordered the Vision Hauler 81 Wheel 19.5x7.5 8x170 Matte Black today.
Now the tires. Currently leaning towards the Toyo M608Z 245/70R. People here to give Toyo's great reviews.
I don't put but 10k a year on the truck so I'm hoping they'd last quite a while.
Anyone with experience on these or suggestions on others in the 19.5" G or H load range? Live in the Northeast so need all weather. Take the camper out on the beach a fair bit and plan on doing a bit more off the beaten path camping in the next couple of years. Also have at least one cross country planned.
I ran those tires and got 60,000 miles out of a set with a 3000 lb commercial cap in the bed and they still had a few thousand left when I sold the truck. Make sure you have a good shop do the balancing, it took my local Les Schwab a few tries to get them balanced, one other thing I had bad wheel squirm and tracking the grooves in the pavement for about the fist 6000 to 8000 miles before they settled down. They were great in the rain snow and ice but so so in mud.
