Power King Towmax Vanguard Callouts

The Towmax Vanguard utilizes next-generation Towmax technology and an optimized 8/32s" tread depth to balance heat build-up, while providing stable towing characteristics in inclement weather. The Towmax Vanguard's symmetric tread pattern features wide shoulders for improved stability and employs decoupling grooves molded into the outboard elements to reduce irregular wear under heavy loads. A robust Scuff Protector is built into the sidewall to help reduce the propensity of damage from light, incidental contact with curbs and other roadway objects.

The tire's internal structure features polyester body plies for smooth operation, combined with twin steel belts and a nylon cap ply which enhances tread stability and further increases durability.

Towmax Vanguard tires have a Service Description that confirms each size earns an N speed rating, therefore, running the standard cold tire pressure recommended for the trailer and its load requires no additional adjustment in pressure for speeds up to the tire's 87 mph (140 km/h) maximum speed rating.

Special purpose trailer tires are not UTQG rated.

...They are quiet and grip wet pavements very well.

I bought these tires because of their high 800AA UTQG, as I was looking for long lasting tires that are quiet. After 24k miles, I would say I am very satisfied. The tires, when new had 11/32" of tread depth. They now have more than 7/32" of tread depth remaining. They are quiet and grip wet pavements very well.

...I have been pleasantly surprised by how well they handled in rain and snow. Had to make an emergency trip at the end of January 2026 from NC to IN got caught in a snow storm in WV and Kentucky these tires handled the snow like a champ when other cars were slipping and sliding they held the road very well and I made it through with no problems...

Purchased these tires mainly for the quiet ride. I have been pleasantly surprised by how well they handled in rain and snow. Had to make an emergency trip at the end of January 2026 from NC to IN got caught in a snow storm in WV and Kentucky these tires handled the snow like a champ when other cars were slipping and sliding they held the road very well and I made it through with no problems. Tire wear is yet to be determined but they seem to be wearing well 10k miles in. These are a huge improvement over the oem Toyo tires that were noisy and easily hydroplaned.

These tires changed the entire driving dynamic of the vehicle. Smoother, much quieter, excellent traction on the twisty mountain roads in rural country roads. Best tires for this vehicle, in my opinion.

...I can safely say they are smooth, quiet, comfortable, and in our current snow instills better confidence, less slipping and sliding!...

So much to be said. Purchased my Ram 1500 just over a year ago. OEM Bridgestone Duelers wore out after 27k miles. And I mean starting to bald, slip, drift in wet and snow. Figured I’d try to make it until fall. Nope, it was just too unsafe for Michigan winter. I stopped at my local dealer to price out tires. Then started researching tires on tire rack. I love the ratings and reviews from their team. I wanted an all around performer that is comfortable and good enough in wintery conditions. I broke it down to two, Defenders or the Pirellis. I was skeptical because most reviews were for SUV’s for the pirellis. Does it belong on a truck? Yes! Compared to the Duelers oem, load weight, speed, performance, treadwear is rated better in every category. Very similar to the Defenders and I enjoy getting the best for less so I went with the Pirellis. Plus the $80 instant rebate from tire rack.
Tire rack shipped the Pirellis straight to my preferred tire place in 2 days. Got them installed with a road force balancer. I can safely say they are smooth, quiet, comfortable, and in our current snow instills better confidence, less slipping and sliding! I am impressed so far and I’m very happy with them. I’ve only had them for a day but I will come back to comment on dry/wet weather and treadwear once spring hits. If you told me the tires would make such a big difference, I would have replaced the duelers much sooner. I’m very happy with my decision. Thanks Tire Rack and Pirelli.

Comfortable, study tire which delivers without fail. My wife is the primary daily driver (city) but day trips < 300 miles are common. Braking and accelleration are plenty for this little 4 cylinder car and I feel they would perform well with the larger, heavier 6 cylinder.

...Handling, comfort, and quietness is superb...

Drastic improvement from the stock Toyos. Handling, comfort, and quietness is superb. Maintains traction in heavy rain with no problem. Light snow is no problem either. Moderate/heavy snow and ice require more caution (they can break traction) but they are capable. Tread is 12/32 after nearly 14k miles
