I need new tires on my vehicle. 2007 Chevrolet HD2500 4x4. My 5th wheel has a 10,600 dry weight and max 15,500.
What are the best tires for towing this site 5er?
P.S. I only use it 2 or 3 times a year.

Thanks everyone. I will price check them tomorrow, just wanna make sure the load rating will handle the weight of trailer.


Your RV will have a pin of 3,100 up to 3,875#. So the fact is your truck with stock size tires may not have enough load rating to CARRY your 5er!

I would replace truck tires with same weight range tires that are on it now. (E rated)..what brand to get is your call. I like Michelin, no matter how many times I'd use the truck to tow...
I'd want good quality tires on my TV.... An all weather radial would be good. Pick out 4 that fit your budget.


AGREE!

MS2's in pic's with 40K on them, RAM dually never rotated.

Truck came with Michelin ltx at2s and they wouldn't get up a wet/muddy grass lawn. That was embarrassing...


Keep in mind the at2s, are not the same as the LTX MS 2+! I am on my second winter with no need for extra weight in the bed to prevent wet spin of the tires. In my area less expensive than Toyo OC, wich even with extra siping were not nearly as good.


Keep in mind Russ, you are driving a Dodge, that is what is preventing the wet spin of the tires!!!!

Have Michelins on our Expedition. Good thing it is a 4X4 or it wouldn't go anywhere in the snow. Truck had B.F. Goodrich all terrain T/'s on it, replaced with Coopers. Seem like a good tire, should find out how they do in the snow tomorrow.

Michelin on the truck and B.F.Goodrich (by Michelin) on the trailer.

Worth every penny of the extra cost! You get what you pay for (within reason).

Cooper do me just fine. I'm not much of a Michelin booster, too much money for my budget.
