Hello everybody,
I just recently bought a 2003 Chevy 2500HD extended cab with the Duramax diesel in it. So far I love the Duramax but it might be a little overkill for what I do.
Anyway, my question is about tires. Currently there are Firestone Steeltex AT 245/75 R16's on there now and they look a bit small so I would like to replace them. They are E load rated tires and I am not sure whether I can get away with D load range tires. I want to put on 285/75 R16 BFGoodrich A/T KO's but they are only D range rated.
As for my hauling, the heaviest thing that I will tow is a 27' fifth wheel with about a 1200# pin weight. I may put a snow plow on it at some point but that will be in the future.
Has anybody put D load range rated tires on a truck like this?
Thanks.
Curtis
