I am new to trucking and diesel and fifthwheeling. I have joined this group and another.
Five days ago bought my first truck; 1995 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 diesel, dually with 76k. Very excited, bright red!

Next day bought my first fifth wheel, 2004 27' Keystone Laredo.

Now my first question (just learned how to post). Also guess it is apparent I am female by the way I asks questions.

The tires on the truck are 11 years old and have about 50k on them. Showing great tread, slight alligatoring, stored in Florida.

Okay can I use these tires or buy new ones? If I have to buy new ones, do I need to buy any specific type to pull a light weight 5er?

I need yalls help, there is no way I can rely on any salesperson. They can see me coming..
Thanks,
Mrs.Oliver Quibble

 

what is the load rating on the tires?
You will see a letter on the side wall
I have to use load range E to handle the weigth of my fifth wheel

 

I would replace 11 year old tires, you don't wanna blow a tire haulin your 5th wheel and like 97 said you want 10 ply "E" rated tires.
