Do wider tires offer more support/strength for towing? The 265/75/16's look fine on my truck. Is this a common thing to go with that size tire on a Ford Superduty? Even though the specs show it should have a 235/85/16?
Ford used the LT235/85-16 at 3042 lbs capacity for years. The LT265/75-16 tire at 3195 lbs capacity has the same tire diameter and is one of Fords OEM sizes now.
Oh... and by the way the Goodyear G614 RST is rated at 75 mph on their web just like the Sailun S637 LT G.
The Sailun S637 are actually more popular with haulers because of cost issues and the G614 past performance issues and the S637 is a all position tire for truck or trailer unlike the G614.
No more miles than you tow the trailer either tire will work fine.
I run my LT tires on my different trailers for around 7 years which is usually around 50k-60k miles before selling them and buying new ones.
