Thanks

for confirming what my tire guy told me. I have a 1998 2720 and the previous treatment of the tires is unknown. This model has 14" rims and no one can offer me a load range D tire. All they can find is a 6-ply load range C.
Dry weight is supposed to be 2720#, add the options (like a/c) and dishes and junk for a family of four and my safe weight guess is at least 3700#, tires on it now are BIG O ST 215/75 D14 with max load of 1870# (that's 3740# total). I would like more of a safety margin to decrease tire heating etc.
Tire man says that the 14" load range D truck tire was designed for a Toyota 1-ton pick up. He has them on order and I will be able to inspect on ?Thursday. The tire width is a little thinner and has a different aspect ratio so the diameter is supposed to be 1/4" less. Here's to hoping I won't have to buy new rims.
Thanks again for the ST designation confirmation.
