So I'm in the market for new tires and I'm thinking about getting something somewhat aggressive like a general grabber at/2 but it seems as though everything in the 265/75 size is weight rated for 3500lbs. Is it just me or is that way to heavy duty for an explorer. I do some towing and what not by my gvwr is never over 8000lbs and the michelins I have now are rated at 2200lbs. My only concern is the tires are like 55 lbs and that seems like a lot on my little bearings and ball joints. Also, with a heavier tire comes a rougher ride and I'm sure we can all agree the ride in an explorer is hard enough as it is. So in short is there a light duty option for a 265/75 or does anyone have any experience with the heavy duty versions and their effects? Thanks!
