I will need to be replacing the tires on my 1 ton. I have noticed there is a bit of a difference in tire weight capacity ratings. I currently have Firestone Transforce that has 3680 lbs per tire. While looking at other tires, I have noticed some have as little as 3200 lbs per tire.
Just curious if there is a tire that has a higher rating than the 3680 lbs??
I'm guessing you have a 1-ton SRW with 18" or 20" tires. If you want a higher load capacity (>3680 lbs.) you'll probably need to upgrade to a slightly larger 295/70/18 tire. That'll net you a 4080 lb. load rating (129 load index). If you have 20" tires, you'll need to upgrade to a 295/65/20 tire (load index 129; 4080 lbs.). 18"/20" E-rated LT tires with load capacities/ratings above 3680 are very limited.
