Tires
I see so many comments on tire that leave me more confused. I have ST235/80r16 tires. I pull a 2010 Open Range 337 RLS. GVWR 12,500. Can I get a recommendation. Marty

Question: If I switch to an LT tire, is the load range the same. My E rated tires are about 3402lbs ( I believe). If I have to jump up to a G rated tire, won't I need new rims because I thought I have seen that the G rated tires take more pressure. Maybe I am wrong, that is why I am asking.

You will have about 10,000# total on the axles, or 2,500# per tire +/- so a 235/85-16E will have a 3,042# rating.
I just took off a 12 year old set of LT tires on our 12,360# GVWR 5er, and replaced with the same size and rating LT's.
Thank you for the info and the education. I will keep this post and also try to see where the rating level is for my rims, just in case.
