They're rated at 2188 each, so I'm overloading them too. I'm only going about fifteen miles at a maximum of 40 miles per hour. I haven't had it hit the bump stops yet but I'm sure going to be PO'd when I break a spring or something.
At least my wood shed is full now, so I won't have to worry about it until next year.

 

Just don't bump.your.tire pressure up. Thats more dangerous then overloading your trucks capacity. Blow out waiting to happen

 

if its 15 miles why not take 2 trips? i dont know what your hauling but you should be able to make 2 trips, id rather spend the extra $6 in gas then get a new tire or rearend.

 

Use a trailer and position the load over the axles. No worries then.

Isnt max tire pressure on 31s like 38-44?

 

I'm hauling shrink wrapped firewood packages, two trips is not an option but I'm going to start bringing along a trailer to throw about half of it in.
Maybe one of these days I'll find a killer deal on an old F250....

 

Not on my Yokohamas. They are 50psi max air pressure. I run them at 40psi normally and 50psi if I am going to haul anything. At 50psi, the sidewalls don't deform as much and provide more stability while driving.

 

The Yokohamas are rated at 2271lbs each. Times 4= 9084.
My truck plus the load was only around 8,000lbs(+ or -), so I was within the tire's ability to haul the load.

 

that fine if the load is evenly distributed acrossed all 4 tires, but generally its the rear 2 that do the grunt work. notice how the front lift when you load the rear?

 

Not really. Most of the load is placed on the rear tires only.

 

What with your profile pics lately?? Do we have to setup a forum intervention Sean!?
