Good Ol LesSchwab convinced a friend that the big "D" rated Wild Country tires would be just fine since they had the same CARRYING capacity as the Michelin "E" tires that came on his Ford 3500 SB 4x4. I told him they were wrong and it was unsafe. He said "you just don't like LS" and proceeded to head to SoCal towing his new 40' Alpha Toy Hauler.
He came back a few months later and apologized to me saying "I know you were concerned for my safety". He said they were VERY scared many times since the truck was VERY bouncy. The tires were nearly worn out with less than 10K on them. He went directly to LS and ripped them a new one and they gave him a complete new set. He had them mounted to different wheels so he could use his "E" tires when towing and his fatty WildCountry's when running solo.
