lanerd,

Your link is as same as mine. I looked at the tire and don't see where they indicate the rate like A, B, C, E, D

All of the tires in the clicky are P tires. P tires don't come in load ranges like our LT tires.

IMO using a LT E at 3000-3400 lbs each on a truck with small semi float axles is not the best idea. Many 1/2 ton trucks wheels are not rated foe those pressures. The C or D tires make better sense/cents.
LT E tires are best left to the 6200/9800 lb axles on our 3/4 and one ton trucks.
I've tried load E tires on std duty 1/2 ton trucks a few times over the years and regretted doing so.

Other have their opinion on E tires on std duty 1/2 ton trucks.


Edit; changed wording

My F-150 came with E rated tires from the factory, they work fine. C or D rated would do it though, in most cases.

OK, well you have one of the odd ball HD F150`s. those are an exception. most standard 1/2 tons come with P tires.

I do agree that running "E" tires on a truck designed for P`s is too much. I would run a "C" if it`s available.
