E-rate question
I just got myself an 2008 Tundra 5.7L with towing package. I believe tow max to 10,100 lb. The tires on them are showing their ages. Looking for replacement. I am also looking for TT around 5000 lb...

The letter codes are going away, as they are confusing to many...going
to the number codes for load rating
Letter codes signify the number of cotton plys (fabric embedded in the
tire sidewall) and is very old. 'C' signifies 6 plys. 'D' signifies 8 plys
'E' signifies 10 plys
Today, cotton plys are no more and synthetic cords to make up the fabric
Most today only have 1 - 2 actual plys or more, but can be rated 'E'
(10 ply)
Also needs the tire size in order to know it's ratings. A 10 ply (E)
small tire will NOT have the same rating as a 10 ply (E) bigger tire
