You provide almost no details about your TV (wheel size, tires currently on it) or your trailer (size, weight). I suppose I could try to google this stuff and look it up, but I'd rather not. The more info you provide, the better the responses will be.

Truck tires come in two types: P and LT. P are lighter duty passenger tires. They are cheaper, weigh less, and offer a more comfortable ride. LT tires are light truck tires, are more expensive, have stiffer side-walls, are heavier, and offer a stiffer ride.

For towing, you need LT tires. This will put you into D or E load range. The higher the range, more plies the tire will have, the more pressure it can hold, and the heavier the load it can handle ... but it will also be heavier, stiffer ride, and lower gas mileage.

I put LT, E load tires on my 05 F150.

Good luck.

i have 265 60 18 michelin LTX on it ow was thinking about cooper or toyo the trailer is about 600 empty i weighed it loaded and it was 7100

OK, for that kind of weight, then you definitely should be shopping for LT tires and an E load.

Just search on LT265/60R18 and pick the one that you like best. Your tire is only ~30.5" tall, which will limit your options. Many of the higher rated tires are a bit taller than that.

I went with Falken Wildpeak A/T3 and couldn't be happier. But, your tire size isn't offered at an LT in that brand/make. So, that's a good example of a tire you'd have to ignore.

BF Goodrich A/T is an example of an LT, E-rated tire in your size. Cooper Discoverer is another example. So, they're out there.

If you could stuff LT275/65R18 in your fenders (~32" tall), then you have more options. But, you'd have to really be sure that those tires could fit.

Good luck.

Agreed. 6,500 lbs of cargo is simply amazing. I'm impressed.

If you get them from Pep Boys, make sure they put the right tires on and check the date code. They installed P rated tires on my truck and when they fixed their mistake and put the right LT ones on, they were 16 months old. Trying to get that taken care of now but so far all I am hearing are crickets...
