JRTJH,
Tires that came stock on the Silverado are Goodyear Eagle LS 2 in 275/55R20 111S. They've worn well, 5 to 6/32s left on the tread, but with 48k miles on them, will likely replace in February, before driving into the Davis Mountains in West Texas with the trailer for Spring Break.
My last measured rear axle weight brought me to 77% of the tire's load rating. As an "LS" tire (Luxury Sport?) they have a 2-ply sidewall, something that I think I'd like a bit more durability with. I'm looking at the Michelin LTX M/S2 tires, they also have a load rating of "111" with speed at "T." With all the superlatives and hype Michelin gives them on their web site, I can't find the details of sidewall and constructions! I know there is much debate about TV tires on this and other RV forums, will start re-reading things in January!
I know we've highjacked this thread, hope the person who made the original post has picked up something from all this.
Thanks again.
Tom
