Time to replace the original Goodrich 245/75R17 LR E tires. (part of the HD package).
No complaints towing my old Jayco Fifth. But, will be moving to a 8,500 GVWR 32' TT very soon. While of course will be using a WDH (Equalizer), any suggestions on tire best replacements to help keep possible sway at a minimum? Will have non-towing use as a daily driver in Minn., so good winter traction a must, also. I don't really care about how stiff (or not) the ride might be.
Suggestions?
Nice truck. :)
I put on Michelin LTX AT/2's a couple months ago. They run quiet and have done fine for me in the snow several times. I looked close at Toyo AT/2s and the Cooper AT/3s as well. I don't think any of those would have been a bad choice. I have not towed with them yet.
Good luck,
Stu
p.s. For my driving I wanted a tire that ran really well in the rain and would hold up to running long stretches of back gravel roads. I do not get into the mud. Also, I do not get snow here like you do. I had the Michelin LTX MS/2s (predecessor to the Michelin LTX Defender) on a 3/4 ton Suburban and they did well in rain and on packed snow. They are more of a highway tread and have 2 belts instead of 3 like the AT/2s. That being said they do really really well on the road and that is where most of us spend 98%+ of our time.
Folks were offering feedback on some tires here as well.
