LARGER TIRES AFFECT SPEEDOMETER & Odometer
Driving in snow/ice with worn out tires isn’t ideal for safety…Ĩ.1. In addition, we could have kept them longer, but we wanted new tires for the start of our skiing season. But this time, we did NOT include the spare tire in the rotation (so less mileage was expected). 2ND SET: We got 32K miles out of them, which is less than our previous tires.It’s not a lot, but keep in mind they’re made for traction not for wear life! 1ST SET: We got 45k miles out of them, that’s including the spare in the rotation (so 5 tires).You can still fit it in the non-extended length by following Morey’s in Transit instructions. Check out Morey’s in Transit instructions.ģ Fit in the spare tire carrier of the Ford Transit 148″ Extended-Length only. We DID run these tires at first for a few years without issues, but because the load index is so low, we wouldn’t recommend them.Ģ The pinch weld has to be trimmed. The reason the capacity for two tires is lower than a single tire is to make sure that the vehicle can continue to carry the load should one tire fail.ġ LT225/75R16/E 115 S: Take note of the “115” load index… this is much lower than the factory tires. The first load index is for single tires. LT tires (light truck) have two load index numbers. In fact, most tire shops will not agree to install tires with a lower load index, for liability reasons. There are many variables to take in to account, so when in doubt select, new tires with a load index no lower than the factory tires. Remember that the weight each tire sees is subject to change with time for example, as the payload changes (cargo) or when going up a steep incline, the rear tires support most of the weight.
