Take a look at load index and load ratings when comparisons it can cause a substantial fluctuation in price.
In this case the tires you posted are 112s and his link are 113s.
May make zero bit of difference depending upon one’s needs.
I came across some KO2s for $55 cheaper a tire for the same size. Low and behold they were a C and not an E. No way I am putting a C on these rigs. A D possibly as I tow very little but an E is probably the best bet.
112s vs 113s? Thats actually cause theyre different sizes.
I posted stock GatorL 18" size as per door sticker. Cuz that's what they went onto
Your tires' max weight will depend on inflation much more than amything else, btw. Chronic underinflation of LTs is practically an American tradition.
I was wondering just how everyone had prices so much lower (50%) than the ones I could find. With tires capable of 50k miles will I be able to guarantee I won't be doing any trailering or loading the cargo area during that time? Nope. I don't want a catastrophic blowout just because I wanted to save $600 for a 5yr/50k mile investment.
If youre worried about pasenger/cargo overloads, plenty of people run em 1000 - 1500 lbs overloaded, and probably 2000 lbs over sticker on ELs... main thing there if trying to play it safe would be actually airing up your tires, much moreso than tire choice.
Regarding trailers, I'm no expert but the alllowed tongue weights are miniscule vs. the amount of crap and people mass you can pile in the back... if you catch a catastrophic blowout while towing, it's gonna be road hazards shredding a tire.... where LT load E might *possibly* help, but two different weight rating P tires? NOOPE
PS for the folks who didn't catch it, btw: "Michelin LTX M/S2 Highway" ARE *NOT* LT tires. Theyre highway pasenger tires with some weather capability only.
"LTX" means nothing, just that they make em in sizes for pickups and suvs
