Re: Triple axle tires ...help
Ok, I just checked prices, and STS and LTS in an E can be bought for $120 per tire or even less but when I entered ST23585R16D it said no shopping results, maybe I did hear him wrong....or more likely he found some tires that were made so deep into the remote wilderness of China that they are not on the internet.352Views0likes0CommentsRe: Triple axle tires ...help
Actually haven't put them on yet, just ordered them and I will call 1st thing Monday morning to clarify. But I was the one who brought up ST and when he looked for one to order it was the D.....well, I feel bad walking away from the situation, also the price was $800 for the set of 6 out the door and if they will work OK I'd rather leave it alone than jump way up to a possibly much higher price. Just to clarify I do believe he implied the Ds were 14 ply, I'm hoping when I call I find out he said G not D but that is not how my life goes. Seems like the Es were rated just over 3000 but the Ds were like 3400, so it boils down to speed I guess?352Views0likes0CommentsTriple axle tires ...help
Got a 1996 38' HR 15000gvwr moving it 900 miles end of april. It needs new tires and so I'm finding myself in the middle of an apparently age old controversy of LT vs ST. Unfortunately I didn't realize that until after I ordered tires. Specs on the tongue is LT23585R16E. It is a triple axle. Some early advice came from a blog from a seemingly smart guy about thicker sidewalls on ST tires so that's what I ordered. However, I have read much more on multiple forums since. My concern is another issue. The tire guy said the tires he ordered are ST23585R16D. Didn't know at the time that D stands for 8ply. Could have swore he told me it was a 14ply tire. I know he said it was a higher load rating and can understand that that may be true but am I in trouble here? Have a transport guy too and I bet he will want to go faster than the recommended 65mph. Just a one time move I hope. Again it's the D ply I have a question about, is it OK seeing it's triple axle?2.1KViews0likes11Comments
