The smallest stock tire size also has the lowest load weight capacity. This negatively affects the truck's ability to carry a heavy hitch weight. Better off having a higher rated tire (18" or 20"), with a lower ratio axle (4.30).
I call B.S., you don't know what you are talking about.
My 2013 F250 IS equipped with the smallest tire size FROM FACTORY in 17"
LT245 75R17 Load Range E
That tire is rated at 3195 lbs max cap at 80 PSI
That is 12,780 lbs max tire capacity for the truck.
Take away my trucks weight (5600 lbs)you have 7,180 lbs LEFT OVER for "cargo".
My truck has cargo weight tag of 3,400 lbs.
That gives me 3,780 lbs EXTRA TIRE CAPACITY that I can not "use".
I would highly doubt that even a F350 is going to exceed those tires either....
