I believe that the rating are for 5-bolt and 6-bolt patterns, respectively. If they are, then these are, at most, a D-rated rim, and would probably have a 65 psi max rating. Yes, they do put psi ratings under the tire, usually in the bead groove...which is =really= stupid.

So that would mean they use the same wheel casting for 5 lug and 6 lug wheels. I had not thought of that. These are 6 lug wheels so the higher rating would apply.
BTW, 2830lbs matches the rating of that LRE Maxxis tire. So not sure why you think it is only good for LRD.
My mistake. I thought the E-rated tires were just over 3k lbs. Either way, the Maxxis are probably the best ST tires out there.
