tire load inflation table?
The tires on my truck are Goodyear Wrangler SR-A. Size is P265/65R18. Can someone help me find the load inflation table for these tires? All I'm finding are LT tires. Thanks.

This TRA pressure chart from Toyo tires...down on page #A8 shows a P265/65-18 load numbers.
Remember a P tire on a truck or trailer is required to have its load rating decreased by dividing that number by 1.1....in other words the 2469 lb rated P265/65-18" may now have a 2244 lb capacity
??? :h
Never heard that one before. Can you show us a reference? Is this assuming that the load sticker on the truck specifies LT? If it is, I can tell you that most 1500/150 series trucks and large SUVs come with "P rated tires, and their door stickers reflect that.
The tire placard specifies the tire size and recommended inflation along with GAWR. I have never seen a placard with a stated vehicle load other than GAWR.
As you can see from other posts the "De-Rating" is industry standard and the DOT regulations follow those standards. If you apply a "P" type tire on a multi-purpose vehicle (SUV or Pickup) or on a trailer the load capacity seen in the Load Inflation tables must be reduced by dividing by 1.10.
