Towing - upgrade from Goodyear Wrangler?

[pewpew3k]

Hi -

I just bought a 21 F150 Lariat with the sport package. It has the 18" wheels with Goodyear Wranglers on it.

I am towing a 22' enclosed car trailer, all in about 6k lb. It tows fine, but has a bit of sway that feels like it's mostly the tires. The car goes straight but it wanders the road. I'm wondering if a tire upgrade would fix it.

Anyone upgrade from the wranglers for towing? If so, what did you upgrade to? Did it help?

Moving to any LT tire should provide the stability you're looking for. They come with added weight, but stiffer sidewalls can really make a difference in the feel of towing. This is assuming the trailer is weight properly.

New to this - am I literally looking for LT in the name? How is this different from an E rating? For example, looking at https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tire... SuperCrew&autoModClar=265/70-17 or 275/65-18

The LT is the LT275 that you see on the size. The car and light truck comfort tires are P275 for passender. The LT means light truck
