Tire Question
Does a load range D tire run cooler than a load range C under the same load
Forum Discussion
I went from LR B tires to LR D tires and I notice the D's run 'cooler' to me..
I could only run the B tires at a max of 35 psi. They always seemed 'warmer' to the touch at rest stops by my hand.. Went to the D's and run them at 55 psi (max is 65 psi) and they just seem cooler to the touch by my hand..
Yes, I know my 'hand' is not a thermometer.. ;) But, it's all I had when I had the B rated tires, so that's all I got!
But, in the end, I feel better with the D's than the B's and I'm on my second set of the D's.. :)
Just my experience and that's all!
