Hey all, it’s almost time to replace my tires. My truck currently has 10 ply coopers and the ride is terrible, not to mention my mpg has suffered. I don’t tow heavy, maybe 3 times/year. Would an XL rated tire be okay?

inside y our door panel should be a tag stating just what tire shoudl be used. That year, thinking a 6 oly or C rated tire. so, yes, Xl or D rate woudl be find. Imagine you are noticing the stiffer side walls on teh tire. Did you buy it new or used? IF used, they may have upograded sprigns when they upgraded tires. Might want ot jump underneath it, and take soem pictures ofr us to tell if they are OEM or not.
