A lot if what i read on GMC pages says we need Load Range E tires which are apparently good for over 3000 lb. or 18,000 lb total, is that right?
Why so much excess capacity ? I'm a big fan of excess capacity (that's why i have an Excursion) but I want to understand.
Meanwhile there are SUV tires on Amazon for under $100 that are 'Load Index 108T' which means they'll take 2200 lb and go 118 MPH.
For a 23 footer a total capacity of 13,200 LB seems just about right.
