[QUOTE="Kevin in Ohio, post: 1354537, member: 32371"] What I can't understand is WHY we ran bias ply and normal steel belted tires and never had a problem but when we went to tires that were "supposed" to be able to handle it, they wouldn't. I assure you, they (E range) had 80 PSI everytime they went out where our others ran 50 MAX. Overloaded? Yes, 2 out of the 3 trucks were but again: So called junk tires handled it with no problems. Michelins didn't. Just doesn't seem worth twice the price to get what we had. I believe, as you eluded to is is the amount of steel that is in them and the tweaking forces when weight is on them. BUT, that doesn't explain the other truck with no overload. One guy said it was due to rotating tires side to side reversing the direction. New to me but we did that all the time with our junk tires too = no problems. Thanks for the insight. [/QUOTE]
