E rated tire with max psi of 65?
I have Nitto Ridge Grapplers that came on the truck when I bought it used, size LT325/65R18 E 127/124Q.
Every E-rated tire I've ever seen is rated to carry its max load at 80psi, so the first trip out with the camper I didn't even look at the tire, I just aired up to 80. Back home 1000 miles later and I see on the sidewall that the max rating for the tire is 65psi.
Sure enough, the Nitto site says may rating is 3860 lbs@ 65 psi. Anybody ever hear of an E rated tire running at 65 psi max?
These are way oversized for the truck (spec calls for minimum 9" rim width, mine are 8"), but after running them on the highway at 80 psi, then on the beach at 20 psi, and at 55 psi unloaded, the truck handles great and wet weather traction/stopping is at least as good as the Revo 3's I had on the Burb.
I was looking for a reason to get rid of these but haven't found one yet....these are about 50% worn, and next set will be the same maybe a size smaller.
