Aftermarket tires

FYI BFG has listed a new replacment size that fits stock H3. Says available 3Q this year, so here we are.
LT285/75R16E. Also LT265/75R16E. My interest was in the "E" load rate so I could run higher pressure and I am BFG customer for all my wheels.

Re: Aftermarket tires

Why do u need E rated tires on an H3?

The heavier tire won't flex as well as the c or d rated tires and the ride will be harder.

the weight rating would be close to 3500#/wheel.

I don't even use them on my Dmax and tow 15,000 trailers quite a bit.

I use an infrared thermometer to set pressure to get even wear accross the face of the tire.
