Need some advice on tires. I have a 2016 2500 6.4 Hemi 4x4 Mega Cab. Going to upgrade wheels and tires. Going with 18" wheel and want 35" Toyo RT's. So I go down to Discount Tire asking for a 35 12.5r 18 tire. The salesman wants to sell me a 295 70 r18. He says the Toyo 35 12.5 is an E2 rated tire with a max psi of 65 and a weight limit that is below the factory recommendation for our trucks. So he is offering the 295 70 tire that is an E1 with a max psi of 80 like the stock Firestones.
I call a local off-road shop and they will sell me the Toyo 35 12.5, I call Discount tire back and he will sell it to me but he says no warranty or tire rotations etc because he's not able to sell a tire below the factory recommendation.
So I'm curious what you all are using and if I should go 295 70 route or 35 12.5? I mostly drive unloaded, I occasionally tow a 5000lb boat but that's it. Should I stick with E1 and run it with less pressure or go with E2 and not worry about it?
