Re: [VAL] Wide White Wall Tires



Paul,
1,690 lbs each gives you a total of 6,720 for all four tires.  Check the 
rear axle rating, it should be less that twice 1,690 or 3,360 lbs.  Then 
weigh the entire vehicle and add the tongue weight and passengers.  If 
this is less than the 6,720 you should be OK, but you will have to keep 
the tires properly inflated for the load, not necessarly max pressure 
but certainly less than the pressures on the door data plate.  (Coker 
should be able to give you weight ratings by inflation pressures to 
use.)  By the way, what is the recommended tire size on the data plate?
