Hey tyreboyz. I found this pic on the internet. Is this a example of taking care of your tires properly?

Jason anyone knows rotating duals can be a pain so what easier way to take care of cupped out tires then to burn'em down a bit!
those guys were brand new at the time(roughly 500miles)and afterwards there was roughly 35% wear leftover but it was an amazing burnout to watch!

Do you all run load rated E tires? If you are not going to be doing heavy towing, like 6000 poounds maximum trailer weight, can you use lower wieght rated tires. Also, I heard the ride would be a little better with "lighter rated" tires. Any thoughts on running non E rated tires?

as long as the truck weight doesnt exceed the tire weight ratings yes you can do that but the danger of over loading the tires has been greatly increased by doing a lower weight rated tire! i would stay with a LR D or LR E for a Diesel equipped truck!
