I hope to be geting a 2002 Supercrew 4 X 2 XLT this next week. What tires should I get on the new truck. I see that it comes standard with "P" radials. I am towing a 5000# trailer and have always had "LT" tires. What ideas? I really don't want to change the speedmometer reading by going with oveersized at this time
thanks

 

BFG All Terrain I tow every day, around 9-10 K loads, and cant say enough about the performance of the AT's.

 

My factory BFGs (P275/60R17) are rated to carry 2125 lbs each. If you are towing 5,000 lbs, then your tongue-weight should only be around 500 lbs (10%). Not nearly enough weight to require new LT tires. So, unless you really want them, I see no need to swap.
