Tire Load Rating???

Will these tires work with a second gen base model reg cab (2013) with an A.R.E. cap? Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 235/75R15XL (https://www.tirebuyer.com/tires/falken/wildpeak-a-t3w/p/TV093001511)..I wasn't sure if the highest p-metric load (XL) would work instead up hopping up to to the LT load rating. Local and long distance vehicle to be used for camping and a good amount of offroad driving. Truck is loaded w wood storage boxes/transforming sleeping platform along w extra gear so added weight is a consideration.

 

I wouldn’t use p rated tires if you’re going offroad, all it takes is 2 pokes and you’re toast. I know higher load ranges kill mpgs pretty dramatically but the extra durability is definitely welcome piece of mind imo.

 

You have a 4 cyl 5 lug 2wd which appears to be on stock suspension.

I can't imagine your offroading being too harsh. Lack of 4wd and clearance will both restrict your capability.

That said, I think a P rated tire would be just fine, unless you know that your offroad areas are of materials that would be excessively hard on tires.

I know load rating is a factor, but consider that you are also upsizing a good bit over stock, giving you more sidewall as well as tread.

You might consider something like Hellwig helper springs in the rear to support the extra weight. Our springs are pretty soft.

'13 5 lugs rock.

 

You might want to get an aal, fatbob makes a kit for lug trucks, i think it helps support upto 100 pooinds and avreages out 1-2” of lift. But will hep keep your truck leveled out when fully loaded. As far as tire rating my opinion is also higher is better. If yoh know you are hualing alot of weight especially over rough terrain its better to get good tires. I know p is good for like 98 mph. I had 96t stock now I run 105t rated tires and i have never had a problem woth carrying heavy loads with either.

 

I have Goodyear Wrangler Trailrunner AT tires size 225/75/15 on my 07 regular cab. I like them, except for some tread noise. On Goodyear's website, there is no P or LT in front of the 225. I called Goodyear to ask what load range they are and was told "standard load". I don't know if a standard load tire is the same as a P rated tire? Goodyear employee just repeated standard load and provided no further info.

 

I have no experience with goodyear tires. But P LT infront of yor tire size stands for passenger car light truck. The us metric way for rating tires. I believe the us metric way rates tire based off how many psi of pressure its under with a heavy load not 100% sure. I know with gen 1 5lug tacomas they are rated 96t but with gen2 they swaped how they measured there tires. On gen 2 tacomas I believe if you wanted tires it woulf be 98t rating if you didnt want to go us metric. And if you are going to be hualing alot anything higher then 98 is fine.

This might help explain some.
