Yep would say so!!!!!!!!!

 

My load range D tires are comparable in load rating to alot of the Factory installed load range E tires. So just because they say D on the side, it is ok for someone to sue me for an accident?

I don't think so!

 

I run D rated and they ride better then my previous 'E' rated stockers.

For what it's worth, if you get sued for running 'D' rated tires - turn around and sue the tire store/company that installed them

That's the American Way

 

O my God. Is this thread still alive? D's, E's, D's, E's, does anyone like C's?

 

C's are for gassers.....

Speaking of "road safe" tires. Just take a look while walking thru a parking lot one day. Look at the tires of the parked cars. You might be scared to drive home. The condition of some of the tires on those vehicles rolling down the roads will make you cringe.

So, all-in-all, I would not worry about a properly inflated, properly treaded, LOAD D range tire on your Ram.

Hey, if you get into a serious accident, have your insurance inspector pull the tires offthe offending vehicle, take pictures. Don't stop there. Take pictures of the pads, rotors and calipers of that vehicle. I bet you that the rotors are out of specs and the pads are worn and the calipers are not working properly. Most people do NOT inspect their brakes. Not to mention, that 5 year old car with 70,000 miles, I bet it still has the original brake fluid sitting in the lines. Brake fluid with that many miles on it is NOT working like it should be.

Don't sweat the D vs. E because their are A LOT more things to be concerned about.

 

Sorry if I'm too late, I only read the first post.
Pro Comp Xtreme A/T's are great for traction, treadwear, and are E load range.

 

I also run a tire shop with in a few years every tire will be rated on a load index it is already marked on your tire's there will be 285/70r17 121/118q that will tell you the weight srws and drw and the q is the speed there will be no more load range d or e everything from car,semi and farm tires

 

That is good to hear that tire manufacturers will get rid of the LOAD D and E. As you can see, the whole issue causes confusion and strife. It always takes them years to catch up to the times.

A simple LOAD rating of how many LBS per tire is much simpler.

 

Cool tires! The wheels are given me a gringo drug dealer vibe, but I dig the rubber parts

 

Could it be that an E rated tire is designed to operate continuously at max load and pressure when a D rated tire isn't? I don't know, it's just a guess. Maybe there's more to the engineering of the tire than we common folks know about.
