good towing truck tires non-dually

I drive a Ford F-250 super duty 2011 diesel truck that is a non-dually and am towing a Jayco 2015 pinnacle RSQS and I need new truck tires. Any suggestions?

Michelin LTX M/S2 is what we have on our Diesel trucks (three GMC 2500's and one Ford F250). We put about 20,000 miles a year on each truck dragging equipment back and forth to different farms.

I like my Goodyear Wrangler silent armors. They are quieter than what the thread looks like they should be.

If you have 18", Cooper Discoverer HT-3, the 245/70/18 has a load rating of 3,640

Another vote for Michelin here. Im running AT2s on my f250 now. They are E rated and I got 70k on them now and I believe they might make it to 90k.

My dad runs ltx michelins on his f350 dually and he always gets close to 100k out of his tires. I also run them on our crew cab dually service truck f350, but they only last about 80k on it because its loaded constantly.

Guess Im a michelin cheer leader lol.

I'll vote for the Michelin LTX M/S2 also. Put a set on our last Tundra, and they wore great, were quiet, and great in snow, if your TV is a four season rig.

Depends on your price point Michelin if you can afford them Hankook at a lower cost but good running tire.

BF Goodrich Commercial TA might be a good option as well...

A year ago I bought a set of 275/65R20 Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar Pro-Grade tires. They have been excellent. Quite, good ride, good wear, excellent in the snow, rain, dry, etc. I have been very impressed and will likely get these again.

I had the OEM Michelin tires and they were good too but they did wear out pretty quickly.

I had two sets of BF Goodrich tires on my 2007 Chevy 2500 HD, including the ones that came on it from the factory. I only got about 40K miles out of them before the tread started getting thin, so I recently replaced them with the Firestone TransForce, at the recommendation of a co-worker. They have a good tow rating, but I find them to be a bit more "squirmy" than the Firestones.

Running Mastercraft Courser AXTs. I prefer Mastercraft/Cooper truck tires to all other tire brands.
