Truck tire recommendations

Check air pressure,let out a few pounds at the ramp when its sketchy,carry a small 12 volt pump to bring it back up or air up a trailer tire. Alot of people max out tire pressure to haul loads and a boat trailer isnt that much of a load,Im not saying run them underinflated but banjo tight is just as bad for traction.

is by far the worst tire i've ever ran on wet roads in my opinion. I will not run them on anything i own. I have Yokohama on my truck & Toyos on my wifes car. We go through a lot of tires where i work, both pickups & big trucks with way over 100 on the road everyday & other then michelins on some of the big trucks the other two hold up better for us. Some of the generals that s&s tire sales aren't bad either.

Thanks to everyone who offered input. After getting quotes from 5-6 dealers and reading many reviews online (several hours' worth), I decided that Michelins were simply out of my price range and went with Goodyear Wrangler A/T S tires. The roads here have been wet almost non-stop since I got them, so I've had a few days to test their wet traction to some degree and I believe I made the right choice. Unfortunately, tires are like wives in that you can only really know if you made the right choice a few years down the road.
