Context. How much does a typical one ton truck weigh that engineers suggest using an “E” rated tire on?
1 ton trucks over the last 20 years have been in the 8-9,000 lbs range. 1/2 tons and SUV are running 5-6,000 lbs. Cars like Challengers, Chargers etc. weigh in over 4,000 lbs now. Modern vehicles are fat.
I wonder what the weight distribution is on them. Anyone know and can point to a source?
Mine came in nearly 50/50 the one time I had it on a split scale. It still had a front bias, but not by much. That's with a soft top, a rugged ridge tire carrier and 33x12.50 spare on the back.
