E rated 35x12.5-18 AT

Does anyone make this tire??? I know Toyo has an AT, but it is only 11.3" wide. Does anyone know of an AT that is E rated for a 18" wheel??

Look for LT325/65R18. 35 tall and 12.8 wide, made in 8 and 10 ply by Pirelli, Nitto, Hankook, Mickey Thompson, Cooper, and Bfg in all terrian and mud terrains.

Look at the weight rating for the tire. I have d rated tires on my truck but they are rated at 3350 a tire. Most big tires like that have higher ratings and most people don't know it, they just get stuck on the letter " E "

Best place to go is the company web site to find out the rating.

Nitto says they are rated at 3195. So how does that compare? I will be pullingat most a 5500lb trailer with an 06 or 07 Quad Cab short bed.

the weight rating helps, but a 10ply sidewall found in load range E tires also doesn't flex as much as the 8ply load range D tires. Even though a load range D tire can have a higher weight rating than a similar load range E tire the 10ply sidewall won't flex as much under load.

Clmsnow-if you aren't pulling anything more than 5500 lbs. a load range D tire is more than adequate. You have absolutely no need for a load range E tire. If you still want a load range E tire, the Nitto Dura Grappler has a size in an 18" rim that has me seriously thinking about buying aftermarket 18" wheels just so i can run these tires, a 305/70R18. That equates to ~35.3x12.8 according to Nitto and the Dura Grappler are supposed to be a good, long lasting tire. I just wish it was offered in a 305/75R17...

That's not a bad diea, but I am worried that the Durra Grappler won't perform as well as the Terra Grappler in the snow and mud-which I need. Is the 3195 load rating from the Terra Grappler enough for 5500bs towed 1x/week?

Absolutely. A 5500lbs trailer is nothing to these trucks and won't be to load range D tires. I've got load range D Terra Grapplers on my truck presently (325/70R17 size) and have pulled a 12000lbs. loaded trailer with 2500lbs. in the bed of the truck and had no sidewall flex. This load was taken 1400 miles from Kentucky to deep south Texas. That's the heaviest load i've taken with this truck.
