Tires/max wear
5 th wheel tow vehicles (Single rear wheel):
What is your favorite LONGEST WEARING TIRE?
Looking at my 265-70-17 Michelin LTX M/S 2 , I am disappointed with the amount of wear from towing. Minimal/normal wear on front tires,
rotate every 10k 80 psi etc..............
Tires have 3 center 7/8 inch WIDE ribs with a 1/2 inch space on either side(4 total)--NOT MUCH RUBBER ON THE ROAD FOR A TIRE THAT WIDE. Maybe that accounts for the wear under the pin weight?
Not pleased with the LTX tires..............
Following a 9,000 mile + trip there was significantly MORE wear on the drive tires than the steer tires.
SO what are your recommendations for a longer wearing tire? What tires have given you the best wear?
TV-04 Ram cummins 3500 SRW-Ft xl weight-3900, rear xl- 5000, 12,000 5er
