Yet another tire question

[JohnCarr]

I am searching for information on tire and rim sizes. I have a 1995 4x4 2500 and have a need to replace bent rims. I am being directed by a local tire store to a new set up of "Evo"18 inch rims with Nitto grapplers size 325 60R18's that have a D load ratting. I have a stock suspension and have questions if these will work. I am also looking for any input on this set up to include the quality of the tires. Thank you in advance.

D rateing will wear fast.

I got 59k out of a set of D rated BFG AT's. Problem is there are not any options for oversized tire in a E rating.

You can get Nitto Terra Grapplers in large sizes in D and E ratings. Don't just rely on "D" or "E" ratings, pay more attention to maximum load rating in pounds.



Factory equipment on my 2002 2500HD were 265/75R16 E rated tires with a load rating of 3,415 pounds per tire.



You can get a Nitto 305/75R16 with a load rating of 3,525 pounds per tire.



So yes, you can get an oversize tire without comprimising load-carrying ability.
