Id like to know if 10 ply or if normal rated tires should be bought for towing my Cherokee 26bh Grey Wolf TT? As Im ready to buy a new set of tires for my 1999 Dodge 1500 quadcab 4x4 truck that I tow my TT with....

    honestly. Buy some Cooper Discoverer Plus. they are rated to 2601lb. Way more than you will ever need for hauling or towing with a 1500 truck. Also. they last as long as any tire on the road. Also they will help to keep the TT inline, and stable. I have had Goodyears, Michelins, BF Goodrich what ever. None were any better than the Cooper. Most were not as good, All cost much more.
  • Be aware the rims need to be up to the task as well. Them fancy rims can fatigue and crack.

    It appears the OP is buying tires for a "1999 Dodge 1500 quadcab 4x4 truck", not a trailer.

  • Be sure to buy LT tires and not P metric tires. Look at the load rating and compare. Higher load rating is a stronger/stiffer tire.

    Number of plies means little anymore.
