Not to beat a dead horse her e but I do agree sidewall stiffness makes a difference.
I am running the Toyo MT's 35 x 12.5 x 18 tires at 80psi when loaded up and around 65 around town so I don't get beat up.
I think they have an "F" load rating.
Unfortunately no warranty comes with these tires and at about 5 bills each that sucks.
I have a little over 20k miles on them and the trad depth started off at 21/32" and I measured a couple of days ago and their averaging about 10/32" so their probably 2/3 gone at this point.
Im guessing I will be replacing in about a year or so with only about 30k miles on them.
For my piece of mind I'm ok with that trade off.
Now lower the “around town” pressure. Betting you’re at 10/32 center of tread and more on the outer lugs. That’s 10-15psi too high on the front of a diesel and 30+psi too high on an unloaded rear axle.
And your kidneys and ball joints will also thank you for it.
