Re: [VAL] Economical Tow Vehicles



Dave,

Loaded, ready for the road my '60 Overlander tips the scales at 4700...OK,
that was before kids...so probably closer to 4900 now. My tow vehicle is
rated for 10,000 so I'm not sweating the extra weight!

I use (and have used for 20+ years with good sucess) Goodyear Marathon
tires, ST225-75-R15, load range D. These tires are not quite as tall as the
original bias ply truck tires (I forget the size), but I want radials and
locally Goodyear has been the only source. I know that a lot of people swear
AT them, but I swear BY them!
