Default *Tire question...*

Are these tires good for towing. I do a lot of towing with my truck and I want to make sure these tires can handle it.

BFG M/T

I had those on my 2WD Ford f-150 and it towed pretty good......Just a loud tire with that aggressive tread pattern.

I have them on my truck. 285/75 16, load range D. There are available in load range E in the some sizes. I haven't towed anything super heavy with them, but so far the truck behaves exactly like stock with them.

btw...they do hum a little while driving, but they are nowhere near as loud as you would expect from looking at how agressive the tread is.

How big of a load are you towing? What size are you wanting to get?

I did not mean LOUD! The just "humm" a little, it's kinda like music on the highway

I tow my Camaro w/ a trailer. Probably in the weight range os 5000-6000 lbs. I'm looking to stay with my stock wheel and go with a 285/75/16.
