They’re D-Rated in the sizes we’re running and haven’t been subjected to near the abuse to which we’ve subjected the Toyo’s. The weights and sidewall construction are on par with a Toyo M/T in their equivalent size. The construction of the tire is pretty incredible. We recently struck a deal with Falken Tire so a few of the shop rigs are now running the Wild-Peak A/T. The tires proved their merit again and again. It took us years upon years of pounding tires everywhere from Southern California to the tip of Baja on the road and on the most rigorous dirt trails and yes, even cacti fields, for these tires to earn their reputation. Becoming the Carli go-to tire without any working relationship between the two companies (we pay what you pay for Toyos) was not an easy feat. Toyo is our comfort zone the bar against which all tires are measured. Below is a chart for our particular 2012 Mega Cab 4WD Truck.
2012 DODGE RAM PRESSURE SOUND NEAR REAR WHEEL PLUS
Basically, the maximum weight the vehicle is built to withstand in bolt on accessories plus the load carried in the cab and bed combined. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum operating weight of a vehicle as specified by the manufacturer including the vehicle’s chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers and cargo but excluding that of any trailers. This nets us a difference of 1,120lbs less than the GVWR. Further detail revealed a front weight of 5200 lbs. We found that with ¼ tank of fuel, normal cab clutter (2 car seats, kid’s toys, race radio) and a 37” spare, we weighed in at 8,480lbs. We drove our 20 Mega cab (6” Performance 2.65 kit and 37 inch Toyo M/T’s) to the scales to get actual weight. Specific to heavy duty trucks, let’s take a look at the door tag on our 20 Megacab. There is an abundance of information on the web pertaining to each tire specification in as much detail as a person could want to read so we’re going to focus on load rating and tire pressure the most important factors in our opinion. This guide will provide insight into the more important specifications assigned to a tire by the manufacture and to what heavy-duty truck owners should pay attention when selecting an aftermarket tire. bias, tread design (A/T, M/T, Highway), and profile all affect one’s ride quality further, choosing a tire based on price and size alone won’t necessarily net a customer the proper tire for their application. Load Ratings and pressures, number of plies, radial vs. One of the first questions we ask when a customer calls with question pertaining to ride quality is “What wheels & tires are on the truck and to what pressures are the tires inflated?” Why, you ask? Simply put, not all wheel/tire combinations are created equal.
