Ok...I either want to run a 225/60/16 or 215/60/16. Would prefer a 215/60/16...my question is what brand is load rated for our trucks? I think someone said something about an "E" class tire? I am trying to find out all the info I need before I shop around for tires.

Yokohama makes a load rated tire in both of the sizes you asked about above.

I ran 225/60's but my God it was wound tight on the interstate at 65 that sucked. I am running 225/70 in the front and a 225/75 in the rear still not much better on the interstate i need some 22's but you could do a hella burn out with the 60's

Can you not use something like a Hypertech Power Programmer to adust for the smaller tires making the truck geared higher? I thought they used those when guys lift there trucks and put on the large off road tires....would it not work like that?

I currently have 215/70/16 in the front....but the back are like 225/85/16 or 215/85/16 cant remember, I do know they are 85 series though. I I ran the same as the front I guess that wouldnt be too bad. I just want it to sit level...I like how the front sits, but the back harldly feels lowered w/ those big ass tires.
