Yes Pat, I just looked those up. Those are some nice one's. The price isn't bad either. Thanks

 

Randall my truck is a little lighter then yours but i run 35 all the way around. I wouldnt want to daily drive anything over 40psi

 

So I was Ok at 40?

 

At both Discount Tire and T & W Tire, they put 35 in all of mine. That is what I have run for years.

 

Thanks Jim.

 

yea 40 isnt a problem

 

And there is a very big difference in the 2 tires. His is rated at 2337lbs at 44 on a car, minus 9% because it is used on a truck. Yours is rated at 3086lbs at 50 for a car, minus 9% when used on a truck. At 35 your are fine for everyday driving, however if you carry a load or tow it should be bumped to about 40-42, whereas his should be bumped to max when carrying a load or towing, since his tire is at it's limit for the rated capacity of the truck.

 

Agreed. I seldom tow or carry a heavy load. If I do, it's a very short idstance.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

why are you doing the minus 9%? Weight is weight weather or not its on a truck, car, van, SUV, station wagon.

 

No, it is not. Just about all the manufacturers state that P series tires have a reduced load rating when used on a light truck application. The 9%, I got from the Tire Rack web site showing the reasons why they have the reduced ratings. Mainly it is the weight always being heavier and the center of gravity being higher.

Goodyear sucks. Buy some better tires.

 

Ian, I wish you would be a little more definitive about how you feel.
