OK I realise that I was hyjacking this topic a bit, and a special topic about it I will open when I have all together. But what CWtheMan and I wanted to make clear that topicstarter had to use higher pressure, what he probably would not have done when we did not wrote it here.

So I begin with a new sheet here and react as if it was my first reaction here.

A good idea to chanche to those Bigfoot LT tires at the end from the maxis ST tires.
But be ware that the Bigfoots E-loads need higer pressure for the same loads.
If you keep to 65 psi the bigfoots probably have blowouts in a short while.
Calculated , taking into account the speedcode that you can even put them on 84 psi , wich is higher then the 80 psi given for E-load ,But allowed by TRA up to 10 psi above that 80 psi. This would give the tire maximum savety and still screws dont come loose from the woodwork by shuttering. With that mayby even more then 6 years livetime /40000miles

Even the Maxis ST D-load would have been better off when you had filled them to 75 psi from the beginning, I think 2 years is short livetime even for an ST tire.
If you want to know How I came to this conclusions read back my too long posts

Better this way
