Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I need to replace the tires on my tow vehicle. Being new to towing a large 5er I have been trying to decide the best tire to use. After much reading I am more confused than ever. Do I need an all season tire? An all terrain tire? In the beginning I will be mostly on paved roads but hope to eventually travel to the west and do some sightseeing in the desert areas. What is a good tire? I have read many reviews on tirerack and just when I think that one tire is OK I read another review about how terrible they are. I decided to come to the forum to the people that actually tow for some info to help me make a choice.
Mike, take a look at the Goodyear kevlar belted silent armour tires. They have a pretty aggresive tread yet they ride good on the road. I have had them on for 20k and like them. The only complaint I have with them is they seem just a bit loud. I don't know about off road but they do well in the snow. I don't tow FT so towing I have only 2k on them but they seem fine.

Our 2006 Ford F350 came with BF Goodrich Rugged Tread T/A tires, size LT245/75R17. We have over 45,000 miles on them, about 20K towing, and they still have slightly over 1/4" of tread left.
I couldn't be more pleased, we'll probably get 60,000 miles before they need changing.
I replaced the original Firestone tires on my 2000 F250 last year with Michelin LTX M/S and really like them, the ride was improved and being from Colo, they did fine in snow, so far anyway
