Tire advice for XT tow vehicle
 

I always recommend an all terrain over highway type tires just for thise "just in case instances"...also, because this is a tow rig, my advice is to get some pretty darn good tires because they will be abused with the extra weight. Bfg, general grabber, cooper all make great all terrains.

In general, LT's are going to be more comfortable on the highway and get better gas mileage compared to an AT tire. The XJ + camper combo is pretty light overall, so most tires in the category should be up to the task for towing (check the specs on the specific tire and size though)

But something like the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor would be a good choice. It is an AT that leans towards the LT side of things. I have never experienced them, but most say that they are comfortable on-road and mildly capable off-road. A more aggressive AT like the Wrangler Duratrac is probably too aggressive unless you think you will be driving off-road.

i'm confused...an LT is essentially a size of tire indicating it is of heavier ply then non LT versions. Most all AT tires can be had in LT versions. AT cant "lean" towards being an LT. It either has the designation or it doesnt

Maybe it is I that is confused then :balloon:

I meant to type H/T I think. I usually just associate those as "on-road" tires, and A/T as "All Terrain", but you are correct about LT just being a designation/class

EDIT:
I was basically saying get a more "on-road" biased tire if you are not going to be offroad ever, vs something like a more aggressive AT which the Duratracs fall under. Gas mileage and comfort are a big deal to me when I am towing far.

no worries man. I thought you meant that, but working in a tire shop, i hear the LT confusion from customers every week.

the duratracs are a hybrid tire leaning more towards the mud tire designation. Being heavily siped is probably their biggest attribute contributing to the all terran side
