Location: Stafford, VA		I just got a new horse trailer :-) it's a hoosier bandit, 8600lbs empty, 13k loaded, and need to replace my tires on my Ford 2009 F250 diesel. Need advise to what tires I should get. I'm looking at the On-/Off-Road Commercial Traction Wrangler DuraTrac, which are 10ply. Advice, feedback?Lisa

Location: western PA		There are many brands of tires that will work on your truck. BF Goodrich, Goodyear, Michelin, Cooper are a good few. E range 10 ply are a minimum. Do not consider any Chinese brands, some owners have had good results with Korean commercial brands.

Not overweight if they have 20% on the pin...2700 lbs....so 13500 - 2700 = 10800 on the trailer axles
