Load range "E"

Pay attention to the specs on these new Goodyear tires.

In a 235/80R16 (which I assume is what OP needs), Goodyear is the only tire on the market that has REDUCED the max load to 3420lbs instead of the industry standard 3500lbs. That's 160lbs per axle reduced carrying capacity.

It may not mean much to some, but in my toy hauler I needed 3500lbs per wheel (7000lbs axles) and only caught this detail at the last minute. I mean, shopping for Load range E, you'd think they'd all be the same.

Even my tire shop was surprised at this change.
