Check My Tires - I知 Good, Right?

2017 F-150 SuperCrew Lariat 3.5 Ecoboost with tow package. Original tires were 275/55R20. Current tires are 275/65R18 rated at 2765lbs each. I think I知 good to tow the Rockwood 2511s which weighs 5472lbs with 740 lbs on the hitch (unloaded). Anybody see any issues or have a comment or two? Please, I知 all ears and want to stay safe.

Are they P-metric, XL, load range C, D, or E? What pressure are you running?

I expected to see "Load Rating" on the sidewall. This is what I found:

Is E-2 a load rating?

No. What is the exact brand, model, and complete size designation? Maximum pressure marked on the sidewall and what pressure are you running?

Examples:

P275/65R18
275/65R18
275/65R18XL
275/65R18LT

If it's LT, there will be a LR C, D, or E on there somewhere.

Come on, would you please answer all the questions?

What model Michelin? What is the max pressure on the sidewall and what pressure are you using?

Those should be good to go, but I think I'd increase the pressure when you are towing. That load rating is at 44 psi.
