This place can overnight a set of tires to Vegas for 80 bucks....not sure what shipping would be to you but check them out, might save you come money

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

 

[Redbowties88]

proxies will most likely be my next tire....

Those generals are only rated to 2600lbs.

My Nitto 420S's are 3086.

 

[BLKLMM]

what size? mine are 285/50/20

 

[MMLMM]

50 series are a SUV load range...

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

 

[SSchmi5519]

305/50/20

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.

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.

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.
