If you need traction off road, dont get the goodyear g rated tires. I ran them on the back of my truck which weighed in at 7450 with gooseck, ran 80psi for 3500 miles with that weight on stock rims and never had a problem. I only use them for heavy hauling. They are definately built right tires. Expensive though. 200 a pop. THese tires never gave me a problem pulling the shop up from nebraska through canada into alaska at 43k gross. Definately worked for what I needed it to do.
Are you saying the rear end weighed 7450# and you only ran 80 PSI? Or the entire truck....

Did you check out the other G's with some tread on them, posted in the other "LOAD RANGE G TIRES" post?

That weight was only the rear two tires. My rims were only rated for 80 and I didnt want to go any higher. They worked fine with just 80 psi with that weight. Didnt even know the weight was on it.

I bought some winter rims that were steel. Said it on the rim. I know the dually rims have it on it as well.
