20" tire question and fifth wheel trailer haulers.
Hey guys two questions to rack your brains,
What is the best, longest lasting tire for a 20" rim?(if size matters) lookin at the Nitto Terra Grapplers for my 05 4x4, lots of pavement and gravy travy and some mud.
The other question is, is how many of you pull a 5th wheel with your half tons? How does it work? Anyone runnin airbags? Helper springs? Or is a 5th wheel plate in a half ton just dumb, Its a 25 ft deck over haulin a 4000 pound race truck most likely. Thanks guys, just need some advice.

I have a 2008 f150 with 18" on it and I am running "E" rated Bridgestone DUELER APT IV - LT275/65R18E. I have a 26' 5er and it weights about 8000' when fully load. Could not justify an F250 for the amount of campimg (distance wise) that we do. mostly camping with in 3 hours of home. The truck handles it great, much better the the 2000 f150 I had.
