Ok fwiw I have had heavy bed loads, skid of tile & tools to 2,400 pounds & others. That was about 8,200 IE too much. Max combined axle is 7,800. You really don’t want beyond that. I tow TTs & boats commercially sometimes with MC or snowmobile in bed to 15,800 CVW over 6 percent grades, others through windy plains & Wyoming. I’ve been through a lot of tires & I actually know how to use CAT scales & WDH to set up a safe stable tow. ED has 440k. I go through 2 sets of four a year.
I’ve run a few sets of stock size GY Wranglers SL standard loads. A set of Michelin Defenders. A set of Sumitomo Encounters several sets of General Grabber HTS 60 all season XL loads in 275/55/20. MY19 Ram & Ford & GM all now use this size. I have two sets of stock 20” rims. One with 265/60/20 General Grabber HTS 60 all seasons E loads.
For a truck that is loaded correctly according to Mfg specs scale proven and 2,000 pounds or less per tire IE our EDs I’ll never waste money on another set of Es compared to the little lower profile XLs. They are heavier take more fuel cost more and make for an unnecessarily harsher ride and provided no descernable benefit again on our trucks and at 2,000 pounds or less per tire. If that is a fair price to pay for peace of mind then buy you some Es. I will on 2500 or greater but not on a 1500.
