Looking for advice on new truck & trailer tires. Need tires that will last.
Dodge/Cummins 3/4 ton, 4x4 with 285/75/16 tires
Car hauler trailer has 225/75/15 tires.
My truck has a nice set of Michelin tires that I bought at the end of 2010. Has a bit over 9K miles on them. Been exposed to outside weather every day. Excellent tread depth but has some side wall cracking. Need to make a trip across the desert hauling a trailer. Really don't want to buy 4 new tires, but I don't want one to fail either. Truck is mostly street driven. Some dirt, rock, snow, ice, driving. Try to avoid mud & sand. Truck is to heavy for the loose stuff.
Trailer is a 2009 10K GVW cargo / car hauler trailer. Probably has less than 1K miles on the tires. DOT code looks like 2008. Need 4 new 10-ply E load rating tires. Probably going to be towed for about 1300 miles & either sold, or used as a storage shed for a while.
What do you all recommend?
Thanks.
