Hi all, so in spite of knowing up front this may be a hotly contested item to post about, I'm going to toss it out there and see what comes of it.
My current TV has 275 55 R20's on it. Goodyear Eagle LS-2. I'm happy with their performance thus far, towed with them all last year. However, the time has come to get them replaced.
That said, I've been considering replacing them with the same model, or I have been looking at Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza's as well as Goodyear Eagle Sport All Season.
Now as is unfortunately almost always the case, some love them, some hate them...said for all 3 tire makes. Here is my take:
Eagle LS-2 -- Like I said, have worked fine for me, and are original OEM tires. No treadlife warranty. When it comes to weight ratings and things of the towing nature, I feel comfortable using them...it is after all how they rated the truck, right?
Eagle Sport -- Much less information and reviews out there. Most of what I have seen says these are superior to the LS-2's. They are even a higher weight rated tire, 2833 lbs vs 2403 lbs for the LS-2. 50k treadlife. I've also read keywords like soft sidewall and replaced the eagle gt tires in some reviews. Not really boosting my confidence much in that regard, as I always thought of the eagle gt tire as a more sporty summer only type of tire.
Dueler H/L Alenza -- Lots of good reviews better than the LS-2, also a weight rating the same as LS-2 tire. 65k treadlife.
So does anyone have an opinion one way or another for what tire to go with? I'm hoping for someone with practical experience using maybe the eagle sport or bridgestone tire? I've already had my practical experience with the LS-2. All 3 tires are in a similar price range.
Thoughts?
