Last tire question, I promise
Got it narrowed down to the Bridgestone Duler A/T Revo.
The question I have is one of the tires is load rated as C and the other is rated as SL. I know (from the research I did) that the C tires hold a greater load then the SL's do. Which one do I want? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...SR5MT673OWL_=4 I'd pick the C's in a heartbeat, but the only problem I have is that the site I'm on offers a "Road Hazard" program on the SL rated tires, but NOT on the C rated tires. Normally I wouldn't care, but I've already had two tires replaced under a "Road Hazard" plan that I bought from Sears when I bought my tires there, so I know it can be worth it. Just wondering which ones I should get. Thanks again (and again and again) Hank -- 2001 XJ Wilderness Roof Rack IPF Headlights Lightforce 170 Striker |
Re: Last tire question, I promise
All other things being equal, you want the highest load rating available in
the size you select.. The load rating defines the load the tire can carry, duh. Another thing the load rating is an indicator of is how well the tire might be expected to hold up during a blow out. It also is an indicator of how it might perform during evasive manuvers. One of the things that the sidewall is meant to do is maintain its form at various times. The higher load rating means the sidewalls ought to be stronger. This can be a benefit if the tire looses air, and/or you have to take evasive action. The weaker sidewall will provide a more "mushy" or vague feeling. And, if you take the back seat out and go to HomeyD's for a load of Ready Mix concrete, you will quickly overload the lower rated tires.

I like having a matching spare which is part of the normal tire rotation pattern, simply because if you do manage to destroy a tire you will still have 4 matching tires. If you only replace them in sets of 4, and something happens to ruin a tire, you will inevitably end up with a mismatched tire. If none of your new tires die an early death, the worst case scenario is that you get 20% longer wear out of the set as a whole. ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- del@_kills_spammers_rawlinsbrothers.org Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.

I like having a matching spare which is part of the normal tire rotation pattern, simply because if you do manage to destroy a tire you will still have 4 matching tires. If you only replace them in sets of 4, and something happens to ruin a tire, you will inevitably end up with a mismatched tire. If none of your new tires die an early death, the worst case scenario is that you get 20% longer wear out of the set as a whole. ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- del@_kills_spammers_rawlinsbrothers.org Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.

I don't have a locker so I can use a 31x10.5 as a spare for my 33" tires. If you just have a locker or limited slip in the rear, then you need to use the smaller spare on the front only which means 2 tire changes if a rear goes flat. One front one to the back, the spare to the front. Our Cherokee even came with a small 'silly spare'. I learned real fast to bring a full sized spare for that though, the silly spare just don't cut it off road.
