whats the proxy tire wear rating? 360 is a pretty soft tread for a truck tire, should hook pretty well

Proxses are 420 rated. The originals are no longer available.

Let us know how those tires hold up. Could be a decent option for a drag racer.

50 series are a SUV load range...

55 series are a heavier load range like for a pickup....

hope your not talkin about the aspect ratio (number that comes after the / on metric tires) cause it doesnt matter what that number is for a load range, to an extent. LT tires have the load range C/D/E or higher, P tires only come with one load rating per tire size/manufacture.

Those generals are only rated to 2600lbs. :eek:


on dot suitcase scales my truck weighs less than 2k per corner :thumb:

and especially when i lighten the ol girl up for the track i am hoping to be under 6400.

i am not dumb enough to try and haul a load or big trailer with these tires. believe me i have more sense than that :)

Naw your right too. I meant in those manufs, they have a 55 thats rated higher and the 50 is rated for SUV type vehicles (lower load rating). They both have a load rating, but they only offer the higher load rating in the 55 series and the lower rating in thee 50 series. There is a few other "street tread" design that are like this as well. Is because a 50 series is common on a 20" on a SUV, but a 55 series is more common on a pickup with a 20" wheel.
