Help with new 275/55R20 tires after towing blowout
Unfortunately, the Hercules Terra Trac AT 2 in a 275/55R20 is an XL and not 10 ply E rated. So far, the only one I've seen in the wild is the Cooper. As a follow up, the Coopers did amazing! The experience with most XL tires was one of vague control at highway speeds. The Coopers were...- Cotay

Help with new 275/55R20 tires after towing blowout
You running 18's on that '08? The 275/55R20 in the Terra Grappler G2 is an XL and not an E. So far we are very happy with the Cooper AT3 XL. At 50 psi the ride is just as smooth as any of the XL tires we've had and my wife is very happy so far. I'll be towing in a few weeks and will report back...- Cotay

I've heard this too, but find it curious that Ford included them stock on a vehicle with the HD tow package. I assume Ford considered them sufficient, but perhaps not optimal. The Coopers are the first E rated tire I've seen in a 275/55R20 size (Tire Rack says Bridgestone and Firestone have them...- Cotay

Help with new 275/55R20 tires after towing blowout
We just returned from fetching our travel trailer in California to bring back to North Idaho. Before departing we had routine maintenance performed on both the Expedition EL 4wd (has factory HD tow package) and trailer. Tires (2 year old Nitto Dura Grappler 275/55R20 XL 117S with 40K miles on...- Cotay

Longtime Expedition Owner
Hi All, We've owned our 2007 Expedition EL 4X4 Eddie Bauer for 8 years (bought it off an old lady with 13K miles) and used it to tow our boat (sadly now sold off) and two separate travel trailers during that time. As a family of 8 (six children 12 and under), this is one of the few vehicles...- Cotay
