Im heading for Texas Saturday and will be able to give my impression then.  Ive heard and read good reviews on the tires and the E ones were only a couple of bucks more.

offgrid, do you have 14" or 15" wheels? Reason I ask is I haven't seen a 14" E rated tire.

Billy Bob, how do you find the stiffness on the E rated tires? Some say the stiff side walls can cause too much shaking/vibration on rough roads. I'm still running the original C rated tires and am trying to decide between D and E rated Carlisles.  

Thanks

While your at it, have them balanced.  That will stop the "weird" tire wear.

I just switched my mud tires out for Carlisle ST225/15.  Load range E.  ten ply.  a little less than you quoted for your choice.  just thought that with only one axle, I wanted beefier tires back there.

I recently purchased a 2013 R-176 Hood River Edition and took it for it's first trip last weekend.  Great experience.  It has the original Mudstar tires on it with LOTS of miles, and some quite funky wear patterns.  I am going to get new tires, and I am looking at the BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2.  I don't see the need for Mud Tires on a camper, and I'm pulling it with a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and that's the tires on it, and they have been great on the Jeep, and I thought I'd get matching tires for the camper.

They are only $138 each +++, so the price is not bad either.  Anyone use these tires?  Any better suggestions?

I'd love some feedback on what you guys run.

David
