[AT] Tire Info

[charlie hill]

Richard,   In many areas of the country the tire store is going to look at 
the tire load plate (usually in the drivers door frame).  They won't install 
any tire that doesn't meet or exceed the load, speed, temp and traction 
ratings stamped on that plate.  I think it is federal law but out in the 
country folks still ignore it to some degree.  If you take your truck to a 
Sams Club, Firstone store, etc. they probably will hold you to that 
standard.

If your truck is a F 350 or 3500 GM etc.  You'll probably be required to use 
load range E tires.  I'm not sure about the F 250 and 2500 series trucks.

Here is a good way to find out what you need.   WWW.TireRack.com

It is getting near time to replace a couple of tires on my pick-up truck ( 
the one used to fetch tractor parts).
I have come across a new ( at least to me) load designation of "SL".  What 
does this mean or where can I find out more information on it?
Some how I managed to make the leap from  2, 4, 6, 8 ply ratings to Load 
Range B, C, D, E, but this seems to be more difficult.  Maybe just the 
joints are a bit stiffer making leaping harder.
