Are yours p-rated or LT?

 

mine are p-rated 265/70/R17

 

Passanger tires do tend to wear faster than LT. That is extreme though!

 

yeah i know the LT's have a little more tread depth to them. I don't really want to put an E-Load LT tire on thats the issue. Size I have the only C-Load LT tire I can find is the Goodyear Duratracs which are stupid money right now, think they are like $250+ a tire.

I've been in contact with Discount Tire Direct and Falken now. Both have put my complaint on their watch lists for mileage and accelerated tire wear. I'll be checking tire depth probably tomorrow on them.

 

I completely agree with you. I have only used p rated tires on my truck. if I pick up one more nail , I might change my mind.

 

LTs don't help with nails.

 

yeah true fact.

Welps with sidewall damage mainly. Can carry heavier loads and will hold up better

 

LTs have more tread depth and stronger sidewalls. There might be one more layer in the carcass on the treads, but 10 ply E rated is a cumulative number.

Sidewall thickness + tread thickness = 10.

Majority of that is in the sidewall, which is why they ride stiffer.

 

Did you sleep in the RTT out in the snow? What is your method to stay warm and dry?

 

Rebate came in the mail today.

 

Just sent mine in last week.

 

Just got mine in....285/75/16 hope to be them on soon!!!!

 

Threw four sandbags in the bed today. The tires hook up light years better in the snow with the weight over the wheels.

 

That's what I like to hear, I have a cap on so no extra weight needed.

 

Placed my order for my 5th - 265/75/16.
Guy on the phone recommended that the tires should be inflated to 29 psi.

 

That's really low.

 

That's what I thought too.

Need to do the chalk test on them.

 

I like mine at 34.

 

Had them after mounting at 32. Felt a little loose.
Inflated to about 38. They feel a bit too hard.
Going to drop them down a bit.
