This one had the police, heavy tow, tire service people, and fire dept at the scene It was a TT this time the others were all fivers. Anyway that made up my mind to get a better set of tires , So I have Kal Tire in Whitby order a set of Carlisle RH 10 ply load range E part # 5151411. They will be a step up from the 6ply load range D that are on there now. The choices in 15" tires are limited & I couldn't find a Maxis dealer any where near here. I didn't want to go a size up to 16"LT as the cost would have more than doubled, and it might have made for issues with the levelling system and clearances. The Carlisle 15" tires have decent specs on them. $ 820.00 installed plus an extra for metal valve stems as I want to put a TPMS system on them as well.
