- Break it right the first time. Fix it better the next time.
I don't think is saying to over inflate them. Most e rated tires are rated for 80 psi. He is just saying that the closer you get to max psi the worse the ride will be. Rangers already do not weigh a lot as it is. On my heavier z71 the tires ride great aired up. The op will just have to find a low(but safe) pressure that gives him the best ride quality with the tires.I'm not trying to start an argument here... but that is like saying... C rated tires can handle more weight if you increase the air pressure.
We both know that isn't true. I'm not a tire specialist by any stretch... But there are differences between C and E rated tire construction. It's evident by the weight difference of the two.
Are there situations that an E rate tire can shine on a little ranger... of course. I'm just pretty damn sure that I will avoid those instances and save the weight for my purposes.
