Thanks to all who checked in here with my question about LR-E tires .... Looks like all of us run "E"s without problems. Seems I got opinionated advice from a sales person who prefers "F's" so strongly that he won't recommend anything else.
As for my weigh station ticket. It was one I found from the PO. Shows a picture of a 18 wheeler with 0 lb under the front axle, 7740 lb under the tractor rears, and 3720 lb under the rear (trailer) axles. I was also confused that the 4 tires in the rear carried less weight than the front axles. Could my PO have driven on the scale backwards ? I guess I'll just have to hit the scales myself to find out.
Anyway, looks like I will be saddling up with Load range "E" today. Found 3 to choose from.
Michelin LTX MS @ 222 each
Firestone Trans HT @ 173 each
BFG Commercial T/A @ 183 each
I will talk to my dealer about all your input (steel sidewalls v. poly, tire pressures, load range and all) and make an informed decision.
Thanks to you all,
Mark Kasiewicz & Dawn Koepp
