Tires

I need to get new tires for my 2wd F250. it is only used to pull my 5th wheel and occasionally during the spring/summer.

I have decided on highway tires and because of lack of funds, I have narrowed it down to two tires.

Kumho Venture APT (KL51)
General Grabber HTS

Anyone running these tires and which one would be the best choice?

Since no one has answered yet I'll throw this out as a FWIW, but if it was me with those choices I'd get the Generals. We're not seeing the mileage out of foreign born tires as they are supposed to be getting. We were running high end Toyos on both the semis at work and on my company truck and they just were not impressive. Switched to Bridgestones on the semis and have had pretty good success with them.
Just running cheapos on the company truck now.

General's been making tires almost as long as there have been cars.

Ive had good luck with yokohama geolander ats. Good reviews and price. Tirerack.com is a good source to compare tires. Youll get a few hundred opinions as opposed to 4-5 here.
