Tire Ratings

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all tires of the same type (ST/LT) and the same size (225 75R15) and same load range (C,D,E) rated just the same (as to weight capacity) regardless of manufacturer?

I believe you are correct that a tire, of a given size, in a given type, at a specified pressure, has the same same load capacity. I think that standard is set by the tire and rim association, to ensure consistency across brands.

Hopefully one of the tire engineers will jump in and correct any mistakes made in these statements.

Yes you can get the same rating in all brands. But you won't get the same quality.
