Hey guys. Need a bit of help,advise. Current tires 265/75/16 stock rims. Looking to go up to a 285/75/16. What would be a good tire for towing? We use the truck mainly to tow the 5th wheel with, it weighs right at 10K. Truck is the 2003 F350 in sig. Thanks in advance.

 

I've been using Firestone Transforce for years when I had work trucks and on my pulling trucks, they are reasonably priced and I have never had a failure. I like the HT because they are quite and wear longer than the AT.

Coopers are generally what I run.

 

Really like Kumho AT51's, I haven't run the E rated ones on my SD, but great all around tire (snow, mud, wet) on the F150.

Yokohoma Geolanders last a long time, but get stuck on wet grass.

General Grabber AT2's did well on my truck also.

 

All I will say is that I've never had any luck with Firestones. Either poor wear or blow outs. Side wall disintegration on one OEM set. Just my personal experience.

 

Yokohoma Geolanders on my F350 & 35ft 5W, one of the best little known tires for long wear. Like ATC said they are not for off road but great highway.

 

I run the Nitto Duras and have experienced excellent performance and wear from them. And I agree with Denny, the HT tread is so much more quiet than any AT tread design. If you don't NEED an AT tire on your tow rig consider a set of HT tires, they are the right tool for the job (highway towing).

 

Hey guys, thanks for all the responses. I got Cooper Discover ATP's today. Went with the 285 size. And Discount Tire had a 2 day sale with up to 15% off, SCORE!!!!

 

congrats, check out coopertires.com for any rebates there may be. This last year I got 70 bucks back. If I recall I scanned in the receipts and completed the rebate online.
