Tire load rating????

The tires that I might buy used have a load index of 106H, or 2094 lbs each. Will this be fine for towing a 3500lb enclosed with a 3500 pound car?

I wouldn't drive down the street with those tires on a HD pickup let alone pull anything. you got to get minimum 3000 lb rating and d rated(8ply). A better choice would be e rated (10 ply).

What tow vehicle are you using?

Mine would come close to overloading those tires on the front axle with nothing but me in the truck.

You don't give much information on the tire, I would suggest looking for an LT designated tire - it means stiffer sidewalls and a more stable towing experience.
