Quiet, towing stability, and wet traction (Boat launch) are the criteria for the replacement tires. No plans to be off pavement at any time so all terrain tread tires aren't necessary. Thanks all. Keep commenting here...
I have towed a 30' boat several times as well as many thousands of miles of towing our current 25' bow-rider, and have never had a slip or complaint when launching or retrieving with the tires I am suggested. I don't even have to use 4wd with the bow-rider. They are XL rated, and do a wonderful job towing.
My only complaint would be when I take my truck off-road. They are very stiff, and don't offer a very supple ride, even when aired down.
ok, wow...just went and checked receipts...
I got them in 2017 and have about 35K miles on them. They just measured 8/32"...both front and rear nearly all the way across. I rotate once a year when I do my oil change.
