I am still seeking an answer to the question of whether or not an F load rated tire with a 128 load index (305/65/18) or an E load rated tire with a 129 load index (295/70/18) would be preferable for a TC hauling application.
What makes it an F rating if not increased load?
Will the F rated tire have significant stiffness/robustness?
Thanks!
Nothing, it's just a new classification for the upper end of light truck tire ratings. The load index is defining attribute.
Strange that a single manufacturer would have the same tire in two sizes with different load ratings (E and F) but have a lower load index on the E rated tire. Thanks for the information!
