I currently have the original tires that came with my 5th wheel and been getting some advice about getting something better. Doing the longer haul thing not just intrastate travel. Had one tire dealer want to sell me Mastercraft tires. I have also researched the LT versus ST and convinced that LT is the way to go. Anyone have some suggestions?

LT is the way to go if you can find some to fit, I went with BF Goodrich Commercial TA's and very satisfied with them.

After many problems with ST tires and at the advice of a major tire distributor I switched to LT's (same as above post) and have been trouble free after 3 years and probably 30,000 miles. NO REGRETS
