High capacity 20" tires for truck
I posted this on the Silverado/Sierra forum and got one response... "good luck." Since folks on this forum are more into towing than jacking trucks up to make them look macho, I'll see if anyone here ...

That is the reason SRW 1 ton trucks don't have the 20" wheel option available. I recommend going with 18" wheels and load rage E tires. The stock Michelin 265/70R18's on my one ton are rated for 3525 lbs.
I'm sure you know but no matter what you do with tires, it will not increase the load carrying capacity of the truck. That is a lot of weight for a 3/4 ton.

The new trucks with 20" tires have 3750 capacity now
adding to way2roll 3750 is just the rating of one brand of tire, my 2014 f350 came with tires rated for 4078lbs, it all depends on the size of tire.
what kind of tires were they?
Ignoring that you are replying to an 8 year old thread, this statement is really generalized. While tires do play a factor in payload, not all trucks have as much payload as you stated. There are a LOT of other factors not the least of which is the model of the truck itself.
I was answering the question asked about higher capacity 20" tires, was not trying to be the tow police slamming his quest for a tire that gave him a bigger safety margin. All Ford SuperDuty& GM HD trucks currently use the 20" Tires with tbe 3750 rating. I answered his question. If you want to criticize people at least know what you're talking about!
I am sure the OP would appreciate your input - if you had a time machine that went back 8 years.
ignoring your ignoring response lol, although it's 8 years later some of us are still looking for the highest load rated tire we can get for added safety while having a heavy truck camper. If my trucks rated for 7k rear axle capacity I would want 10k capacity if available, even if my rear axle weight was 6k.
so make it relivent and start a new thread. there are so many new brands and models of tires out now than there were 8,9,10 years ago.
