The load rating on them is a load D rating, I can't remember for sure but think it's 3800 punds.

When you have the tires shipped by fright you have to have them shipped to a loading dock because they come by semi, what I did was had them shipped to my dad's work and he just called me when they got there.

As for how good they are on road I'm not sure yet (the truck is acting up on me) but I have heard many people say they do great in rain and snow and off road, but I have also heard people say the tires sucks all around, so it's just your own opinion.

Morgan's right. They're a D rated tire. If i remember right mine are like 3816 or something.

I've put a couple hundred miles on mine already. So far they seem real nice. No problems in the rain (or driving through deep puddles ). I don't know if it's the tires or the rest of the truck, but my truck rides rough as hell... did that before too though...I also haven't noticed a lot of road noise from then either.

It would help if the truck was at my house and I could work on it all day, but it's 15 miles away and I'm doing good if I get to work on it 30 minutes every weekend.

I found a set of those tires local to me. but they have the runflat inserts still in them. Can those be removed? Or will they work on a regular 16.5 rim, with the inserts?
