Load Range E on 2600 lb steel rim?
A few weeks ago I picked up a drywall screw in one of my tires. Of course, it was just off the tread so it couldn't be repaired. I was out of town and not wanting to travel without a spare I bought a Carlisle LR E from Discount Tire, since that's all they stock. The original tires are Towmax LR D.
I'm planning to buy four Maxxis LR E tires. The original rims are marked max load 2830 lbs so I should be OK there. I'm planning to move the Carlisle LR E to my spare. However, my spare rim is marked max load 2600 lbs.
Discount Tire says putting the Carlisle LR E on the spare rim is no problem. Looks to me like I need a higher load rim on my spare for the LR E tire.
Any comments?
Alan
