I went with Nitto Dura Grappler, stand up great under a load. Can't say for mileage because I've only put about 5k miles on them but they still look new. Smile

I have two buddies in Florida that have them on their trailers and have no problems.
They appear to be a good value for the buck.

It came with Michelins from the factory and they were good tires. But, the truck is a 2000 and only has 31,000 miles on it. The tread is still excellent but, they are dry-rotted bad. I only use the truck to haul the race car...that is why I was looking at something for less money.
I hate to cheap-out on tires, especially on the tow rig but, putting 3,000 miles a year on them, I'm thinking they will end up dry-rotted the same as the ones I have before I wear them out. Mostly was wondering if anyone had heard any horror stories about them blowing out or treads coming off...lol. Shocked

FWIW....I can get 6 tires mounted and balanced for $800....free lifetime rotation.
