Tires

[Neil E]

Michelin Defender is the best, money no object.

I would use tire rack to compare tires. You can look at the ratings. I used mine to look at Longevity and quiet ride, as I do a lot of highway driving. Money is an object with me, so I got Continental CrossContacts, and like them, but I think they have changed the name for some odd reason. Lately I noticed a set of BF Goodrichs that are rated highly.

But Michelin and Continental make the best tires, in my opinion, in most cases. I had Michelin Defenders several years ago, and it is a great tire. I have had Conti's on my last 3 cars, and loved them because of ride, quietness, and longevity.

For those that have Michelin Defender tires, what load/speed rating are you putting on? When I search different sites for my 2011 RAM, I come up with different suggestions, either 115T for around $205 and 121/118R for $239. Some sites list them as a 50k warranty others show a 70k warranty.
I will be pulling a 5th wheel quite a bit.

You want the 121 (load E) if you have a 5th wheel.

Michelin Defenders. Have them on my '16 Longhorn and had them on my '14 Bighorn.

Won't use any other tire. Period.
