I seriously doubt that you can buy a factory equiped one ton rated truck with passenger tires.
And putting different tires on a grocery getter won't make it one ton capable.
The weakest link is the determining factor....
Careful selection proves out.... I've never had any problems that required an aftermarket fix....
I'm not a mechanical engineer.... but I had plenty of fellow workers and frinds that were abd still are...
.... they advised me that oversized tires based on the trucks rating are nothing more than huge pig lips that take a lot of $$$ lipstick but add nothing to the carrying capacity.
