funny seeing an ER referred to as a smaller cousin

19500 GVW on the 5500 but only 4200 pound rated tires? might be close on the rears.

I’m interested in this too!
The rear of my truck weighs 8000 lbs
Would tires with 4200 rating be ok if it was never loaded above that amount.

Why don’t they make higher load ratings in the 35-37” sizes.
Looks like you have to go all the way up to 41” to get higher load ratings

You have to go to an MPT81 in a 41" to get the proper load rating to handle the weight of a 550 or 5500. I wish I could get a 6000 pound rated 37" in a single to replace my duals!

Most 2000 and newer trucks probably won't even fit a 16" wheel, they would be rubbing brake calipers

Supposably those E rated 37" hummer tires are rated at 4,500 lbs. but again, it's a 16.5 inch wheel.


Closest you can get without going MPT is the 37x13.5x17 Toyo MT at 4,300 lbs.
