I happened to be looking at Nitto Ridge Grapplers so we can use that as an example. Look HERE at the load rating table for 17" tires. The highest load-rated tire is the LT285/75-17E at 3195 lbs.
Now look HERE at the ratings for 18" tires...that same tire in LT 285/75-18E is rated at 4080 lbs.
In this example going from 17" to 18" with the same 285/75-E tires nets up an increase of 1,770 in RAWR just from the tires.
Make sense?
