[QUOTE="COLT, post: 396579, member: 1351"] I ended up with a firestone 265-75-16. 3415 load rating. I have NEVER blown a Firestone transforce and get 120-150 k out of them hauling heavy. I looked at the G rated goodyear tires and decided....well....I couldn't afford that much tire. I dig the F19 hankook that Gizmo is running on his rig but it is still a 3300lb rated tire, however I am sure that is a very conservative rating. Bottom line is I can't spend 350 per tire when I know a 190$ tire will do the job. (And do it better than most). The second worry I have is my suspension. Running a super hard tire on a three axle setup is hard on parts due to the side load when turning sharply. The Firestone's give well and are proven, not to mention give a little themselves on the sidewall. I run an equalizer setup, not torsion as torflex axles will not distribute a sailboat or deep keeled boats weight to all axles. I'll let y'all know how they work out compared to the 235-85-16 Firestone's that only had a rating of 3042. Thx for the help to all! Colt [/QUOTE]
