Question: Minimum Load Rating?

[SSchmi5519]

Bringing this over from another thread...

1) What is the minimum load rating we can run with street tires in a daily driver application?

2) What if the truck never tows?

go weight your truck with full weight you would run in it, divide it by 4 and thats the min you can run per tire

It doesn't matter that they are so front heavy?

You would have to see what your weight bias is or get some scales that will tell you corner weight of your truck to know what the real minimum would be. Personally, id find your weight, figure your bias to be 65% front weight and go from there to be safe. finding your weight and dividing by four wont make too much difference as most LT tires should easily be over that weight you have at hand

Most truck scales will give you a weight per axle. On my truck, my front axle weight is around 4200 and the rear is around 2800.

My street weight is 6970 I think.

Try dropping the pressure and see

I run mine at 50 for fuel mileage and the front tires looks squashed if they are not all they way full.

Also the POS power steering pump cant turn 35's especially if they are not fully inflated
