I bolded the part that I have been thinking about. The max pressure listed on the door of the truck is less than the max pressure printed on the tire which means (at least to me) that the tires may not be able to support the weight as if the tires were at maximum. I've also wondered if my uneven...

So it is not just me - I am replacing the original tires at less than 20,000. and it sounds like my use is similar to yours - well, even my driveway is rather rough. I think the Toyos have more aggressive tread than I need and you are not the first to mention the noise. After years of big...

From what I have read XLs have additional reinforcement over the standard load passenger tire. I don't entirely understand the weight index but the Falken Wildpeak XLs have a weight index of 112, (2,469#) the current tires are 109 (2271#) There are a number of other tires like the Cooper...

I have not found a C or D rated light truck tire in my size. I have found an XL rated passenger tire and I am considering that. But yeah - until I consolidated my two vehicles into the one truck I'd wear out those little 14" car tires but the E tires on the truck with the camper had to be...

I want to thank all for all the responses.

The only LT tires in my size are E rated. Would weighing the axles still be necessary? And I keep thinking - I may not drive much but when I do it almost always includes the Walker canyon. When I drove a smaller car (Tercel, Prius, Outback) I used to wear out tires at about 1/2 the length of...

I missed a couple of posts while I was writing mine. I ran my previous rig (T-100, 4-W Kestral shell) on BFG All Terrain - pretty sure those are an E tire. Maybe that is why they dried and cracked before the tread wore out. The only failure I had was on an 8 year old tire and it still had a...

So my choice is a "passenger" tire or a "light truck" tire which would be an "E" rated - except a Falken Wildpeak which is still a P tire but an XL load range. On one forum someone said that "a P tire does not belong under a camper" but when that camper is well below the weight limit for the...

Should I get an E rated tire?

So I am gonna need new shoes for the truck. The OE is "P" rated Firestone tire and they are wearing on the outside edge. I'll have the alignment looked at but I don"t have any other symptoms (and I don't even have 20,000 miles on) My camper is 765 lbs and I can't imagine me and the dog and...

I'm in Walker, services and groceries in Gardnerville and Carson City. But yeah - "didn't want to do the work" (or as has been pointed out, didn't want to take the risk) may be the deal. But I need new shoes anyway. Toyota put passenger tires on this truck. When I bought the truck I thought...

"if I stay out 'till quarter of three, would you lock the door, will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm 64" dang song stuck in my head but no, I'm not a geezer (I'm not a liar either :cool: )

It is probably the neighbors who earned gold stars on their chart - especially when I was trying to transition from "violin" to "fiddle". And I think I'd add bagpipes to the list with accordion and banjo.

I met my husband in Fish Valley - to the south of Devils Postpile. I was hiking the John Muir Trail and had taken a shower at Red's Meadow just the day before. We went fishing together and were married on Minaret Summit 6 years later. I tossed some of his ashes in the wind off the top of Mammoth...

We ended up at Packsaddle once after being run our of Berger (folks in a trailer looked right at us as they brought their generator out on a long cord to within a few yards of our table and fired it up while we were eating dinner) My husband hunted the area and we began to use Packsaddle all the...

Yup - just saw the photo on Caltrans District 10 Facebook (you don't have to be "on" facebook to view it)

Annual guy's fishing trip and it was still too early to start drinking.

West Walker at Mountain Gate. A half dozen guys were fishing - one wading with a fly rod.

I heard about Hawaii. Their state gas tax is 51.7 cents, CA is 68.2. Nevada is 50.5. (fed tax is 18.4) The price difference between Gardnerville, NV and Bridgeport CA is $3.00/gal. I think prices are set on desperation -"can I make it to Nevada?" - and/or "we're on vacation - the sky is the...

A few years old, it still give me chills (in part because I was listening to this album while sitting in the door of my camper watching the Slink fire)

Hwy 89 is still closed from flooding yesterday.

Finally got some really heavy rain today, Thursday (4th) but have yet to see any severe consequences.

I thought I remembered a design that would lift and then lock in vertically against the panel. I thought it was here.

And very nice photos, Frank - thank you for the inspiration.

Thanks! I do have e kayak and I will look for the hunting dates. I love to x-c ski.
