Sorry, that tire is quite a bit thinner than anyone on this board would run for spring/summer use. The Lightning comes stock with a 295/45-18, which we generally run at 30-32psi.

I think the thinnest I've seen a Lightning owner run, other than snow duty, is 285 on a 22" rim....

Really, I thought 265 60 was a larger tire. The rim is 18by9. What is the stock Lightning rim width? 265 60 was the manufactureres suggested size. Does this seem right to you
?

Lightning rim is 18x9½. The 265 is the section width, and the 60 is the aspect ratio. (The sidewall is 60% of the tire's width.)

The 265/60 is a taller tire, but not as wide.

Don't know what kind of truck you have, so I can't really say if it sounds right.

For what year and model? Not a Lightning or you need a new tire supplier who can read the tire tag on the drivers door.
