Tire Load Range

Getting ready to shop tires, and noticed those friggen idiots at CW put Load Range G tires on the front of my coach before we bought it. The coach requires Load Range H. Shame on me for not checking it thoroughly. We have been running 900 lbs overloaded on the front tires for 3 years.

Ironically, at least half of the tire quotes I get come at me first as LRG even though I ask for LRH.

Just a word to the wise - Know and understand the Load Range of your tires when shopping - its just as important, if not more important, than the size.
  • G and H share similar loads depending on ply. You need to know how many ply in the H and the G to determine if the rating is appropriate. There are a few other Load Ranges that share similar crossovers due to construction. I don't know why tires in that group carry different load ranges when their actual carry capacity is the same; but they do. I guess it's similar to the load "index" issue with LT tires that are both 120 and 115 depending on mounting characteristics.
  • One more reason I don't go to Camping World.
