The tires recommended by the group of Michelin, Firestone and Bridgestone are good options.

I went with Bridgestone Duravis R250 235/85/16E. 3042 lbs @ 80psi. It weighs 59 lbs, 22 lbs heavier than either the Marathon or Tow Max. It is a all steel tire it has a speed rating of 101 mph.

(a G614 is a all steel tire and is also a LT rated tire, not a ST rated tire) It is recommended by Goodyear to be a trailer tire. Thus my disagreement with the dribble from Tire Rack about side wall flex and such of a non ST tire.

If side wall flex of a LT tire is such a issue, how are all the folks with a SRW truck able to tow a 5th wheel.

At ease. Smoke um if you got um.
