Wheel Load Capacity

If in doubt, spend the extra and get the high rated wheels.

You're too good of a friend to risk on cheap wheels even on a shovitaways.

Thanks Budd.

I agree, almost. If you have a 1/2 ton truck, then there is no real NEED for higher capacity rims for the extra cash because you are going to be limited by your GVW, not the wheel/tire combo in most cases, quite possibly.

Like Budd said, though - if in doubt...

My son, Bryon, gets his discharge in February. Are you still in AZ?

Ok, now that I have found and ordered my wheels, M/T Classic II's (16*8 w/a

3200 load capacity). I am looking for tires. I have a few different ones I am looking at, they are all either MT's or a very aggressive AT.

Three from Dunlop One from Nitto One from General

Any thoughts and opinions on these brands?

A friend at work really brags about Yokohama Geolander tires. If you can get past the name, they are a decent looking tire and seem to do well in mud and snow.

I was looking last year and had settled on those. Seems like a heck of a tire. Tire Rack has info on them.

Well, I have the tires and wheels ordered. Should be here in about two weeks. Ended up with the Dunlop Mud Rovers.
