[QUOTE="Daveb, post: 28106, member: 15016"] So a little background first. When I agreed to purchase this truck, they told me they would be installing new tires on it first. Great! I have always had excellent experience with the Defenders. I sent them a screen shot of what I was after. They installed exactly what I had sent them a pic of. Unbeknownst to me, they are not LT rated, GVWR OF 2308 pounds. They swear to be damned they are adequate for the vehicle and it’s all my fault for the error. LTX in Michelin evidently does not mean Light Truck,10 ply. My rear axle rating is in excess of 6000 pounds, and my argument is these tires need to be rated to meet or exceed that amount. They say tough. Go buy another set and sell the ones we put on if you don’t like them. Fault notwithstanding, have tire ratings changed since the load range E days? Are there different ratings that apply today? Thanks from someone still in the G78-14 days [/QUOTE]
