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...

Mis conceptions and out of context info here on tires...as usual...
Stay away from the Load Range letter designations...they are going away
because of the misconceptions
Better to use the 'new' numeric designations and know that folks will
continue to us the letter designations
ON that, suggest to change from 'E' tires, to '10 ply rated' tires. That
is the correct translation for what an 'E' rated tire is...a 10 ply rated
tire
'LT' tires are installed on 'half ton' vehicles by the OEMs (stock
tire for 'that' vehicle) for serious off road optioned vehicles and on
the 'fake' half ton vehicles
Fake half ton, because they have +8K GVWR ratings. These 'fake' half
ton vehicles are also known as 'heavy duty', 'HD', etc...but they are
still correctly in the marketing verbiage: 'half ton' with a suffix
modifier
