Tire Size

[john z]

A quick one to anyone who knows: If the same size "D" range tire and an "E" range tire are inflated to the same pressure, say 60 lbs, do they have the same load capacity?

Yes.

I know that you can fit a 33x12.5x16.5 under the stock setup. I have seen 35x12.5x16.5 under a stock setup , but I don't know how bad it rubs.

I have an 01' SD 4x4 crew with the stock aluminum wheels.
I had the 235/85R 16 Generals. They were 30.60" tall and
8" on the tread width. I decided to go with the Bridgestone
Dueler A/T 28575R 16. They are 32.9" tall and only 8.7" on
the tread width. They fit the stock wheels perfectly and do
not rub. My odometer is off (under) by 4 miles for every
100 miles. (shows 96 when actual is 100). I am looking to
raise the front 2" to level off my truck. I have the "crash
bar" that the Excursions have under the front bumper. I want
to retain this bar, but all the leveling kits want to delete
this bar. I am considering going to 315/75R 16 but I hear that
I will need at least a 3" to 4" lift. Hope this helps.
