Which Tire For My Truck?

[AdamG]

apparently I dont know as much as I thought I did about tires. C,D,E rating have nothing more to do with then the amount of plys the tire is constructed out of but is not an indication of actual load capacity. You can actually have a C or D tire that actually has a higher Load rating then an E tire. Tire load rating go from 1 to 150. You can read about it on this link. http://www.edmunds.com/how-to/how-to...your-tire.html

I put duratrac's on my truck a few thousand miles ago and love them so far besides the sacrifice in fuel mileage due to the increased weight going to a larger LT tire, but fuel mileage isn't what I was focused on when I bought a 6.2L silverado. I did a lot of research on all the tires you mentioned and went with them because they aren't loud, last a long time, and look the best haha.

I'm going to assume when you say larger tire, you mean taller, now I have never lost fuel mileage going to a size or two larger tire, but I also recalibrated my speedo for the larger tires so that the mileage was accurate, it seems a lot of us forget about that, I have. Taller tire, larger circumference, less revolutions per mile, so when you travel 100 miles, only 94 miles are read, so you went from getting 20mpg, to just under 19. Sometimes it's the really simple things we forget about, we've all done it.

However, when a tire company is trying to avoid warranty stuff and you have a truck that is OE with E rated tires, they will laugh and hang up when you mention a lower class tire on it failed. (even if it was higher rated)

My truck came with some procomp tires and one lost its carcass coming home one day from work. Only reason I tossed that in for thought.

Come on most companies will try and use peoples ignorance as an excuse to avoid paying out for warranties. Perfect example most people dont know there is a federal law stating if u modify your car the car company has to prove it was the modification that caused said failer. Saying it did is not enough to not pay out.

Oh I know, and to be fair the tires were out of warranty and I was not the original buyer but it peeved me that they failed so badly and I never overloaded them.

So, the truck has E rated tires and hopefully never have an issue with em.
