Tow Vehicle Tire Options and Opinions

[Fast_frank_d]

I am not sure if this post belongs here, or in Tow Vehicles, or in Tires, but it's about tires on the tow vehicle for the purpose of towing. I have been towing large trailers with my 2WD F150 for many years, but just recently hit some trouble spots from unexpected gravel/dirt leading to campsites as we get deeper into the hobby. 4WD is not in the budget, but sensible truck upgrades are. My intention is put in a limited slip diff and switch to all terrain tires from the highway rollers I have now. Below is a short list of tires that have good reviews in the $100-$150 price range, does anyone have personal experience (positive or negative) with these tires or others that I should consider?



Goodyear Wrangler ATS
Laufenn AX Fit AT
Kumho Road Adventure A/T 51
Falken Wildpeak A/T3W
General Grabber ATX



Of course improving gravel/dirt traction is the most important thing, but I don't want something that makes it impossible to control the trailer at 65mph, or makes you deaf on a 500 mile trip.


Let the opinions roll in! Thanks!
