I bought a 2013 F-150 XLT 4x4 w/Max Tow. It has Goodyear SR-A tires on it that are rated to pull 2,600 lbs each.
The camper that I am picking up this weekend is a 2013 Palomino Solaire 317BHSK Eclipse which tops out at around 86xx full and 35' long.
I have a GVWR of 7650 lbs and a payload of 1800 lbs. On the door sticker it says that these Goodyear 275/65R18 T114 tires are ok to use with that load.
I am looking at Michelin LTX M/S 2 (LT275/65R18E1 123R W) based on my Uncle suggesting, "it is silly to pull that camper with passenger tires".
I would like to hear everyone's thoughts on investing in light truck tires
1. Is the Goodyear overkill?
2. If you were in my position, would you buy the LT tires and sell the almost new Goodyears? It will cost me about $600 out of pocket.
I am trying to determine if this 'upgrade' makes for safer pulling.
Thanks!
