Also the two tires I have narrowed it down to are the Toyo M-55 and the Michelin XPS Traction. Does anyone have any experience with either of these tires? I have been told that both are as tough as nails, get a decent amount of mileage, and do well for a tow vehicle. I need a little bit of an aggressive tread because I tow in places where I can encounter rain, mud, snow, and ice. Thanks for the input......
well i haven't used either but i have used michelin ltx as for the past three years. they last pretty long but i just switched over to the xps rib. didn't really need the traction, or so i think, and hopefully it doesn't jump up and bite me. lol i asked for opinions and never got any
oh well.
just personally i would say michelin because those are commercial grade tires and can be retreaded too. idk about toyos though.
the michelin looks like it has a bit more rubber touching the ground at a time than the toyo
