Capri-Racer,
Thanks for your reply. If the weather cooperates this weekend I will get wheel position weights and report back.
A question on the E range ST tire you suggested. In my case the load will not be that high as Max of the E range tire at 80psi. Is there a concern of high center tread wear running 80 psi? Or is it in this case that the tire will age out mostly like before it wears out providing good axle alignment. Sort of like where I am now.
I can tell on the D's I have now the center is wearing slightly more then the outer threads. Granted I'm measuring with a dial caliper to see this. I attributed this to running 65psi verses the load on the tire. On the E's this might be more pronounced. I do not see this as a show stopper, more of a curious question.
Another question is a thought of harder bounce due to the E range tire? On a truck/car this shows up for sure, on a TT, well I do not know. In my case I have a rubber equalizer and shocks to help the cause.
Thanks
John
PS. I will need new rims to go to E range. Mine do not list a PSI, only a load weight that lines up with a D tire. I'm not going to attempt 80 psi in a rim intended for a D. I know enough about pressure vessels not try that. No 80 psi stamp means, no.
