Tires for my F250

Hello all, I am new here to the forum and thought I would ask for opinions on tires. I have a 2009 F-250 Super Duty that I was pulling a 28' tongue pull with and had no tire issues. The first of the year, the wife and I upgraded to a 32' Crossroads 5th Wheel.

Here is the issue, had a cadistrophic tire blow out on the way home from a great camping weekend. I am looking for opinions on the best tire for the money to replace the ones on the truck now.

Trialer weight around 10,000lbs.

Thanks for any advice.

Grumpy

I'm partial to Good Year myself. That's all I have run on my vehicles and trailers for many years.
I would recommend a 10 ply tire with an all season tread.

I have Michelin LTX/MS2 on my F250. So far so good but I have not hauled a 5er, I gave a 7000 lb TT. A couple thoughts come to mind. first, what were your tires rated for? second, is 10000 lbs the dry weight or loaded weight of your 5er? what is the loaded pin weight of your 5er? Could it have been a faulty tire? Did you curb it or hit some bad pot holes recently? these could have caused a weakening in the sidewall of the tire.
