Tire trucks

Truck tires need to be replaced. Any recommendations? Should I consider any special features to consider when towing 22 foot trailer?

I'll 2nd Michelin Defender Load Range E

Made a huge difference on my F150, pulling a small 192 RBS. Trucks doing 70 mph or higher would push and pull the F150. Now, it's nothing.

Since OP wonโ€™t tell us what surfaces he drives on, how much weight he carries and pulls, his level of road noise tolerance or even specific truck until asked, Iโ€™ll pass on tire recommendations. This isnโ€™t poker and you can reveal your cards.

No special considerations needed for load for a smallish trailer like that. Pick the ones you like in the price range you want.
D or E tires can handle more weight and thus can be made โ€œstifferโ€ which helps handling especially with a load. And they last longer in general than lighter duty tires doing the same job.
Please donโ€™t read the other thread about how E tires are bad for a half ton. Unless youโ€™re looking for good entertainment.

For whatever it is worth, we put BFG All Terrains on our Tacoma -- we do a lot of off pavement stuff -- and they have been great -- no flats despite some very sharp volcanic rocks.

They make a lot of noise on concrete roads, though. Not so bad on asphalt.

Michelin Defender. They are load range E and I have never had so much as a slow leak. On my 4th set.

If you've got the `18's then this would be my recommendation.

I had these exact tires on my `13 F150 2WD and I had 72K miles on them before I traded the truck off. Road manners were good and could easily handle the increased weight.

Some F150's with the 4800 rawr/8200-7850 gvwr come with LT E tires....and some come with 18" or 20" or 17" P tires. So what are we looking for.
Makes a big difference.

Trailer length has little to do with truck tires. Weight does, as well as whether you drive off road, in snow, mud etc. More information from you is needed.
