Those look real nice, definitely getting some as soon as I wear down the stock tires. I'll probably grab the 265/75's, I don't plan on going over 90 much anyway.

It's just that the 75's (in the General Grabber AT2) are LT's which on their spec sheet shows max air pressure at 88 psi...Not the regular 44psi...I just didn't think I wanted a tire that used that much frikin pressure....But I did see a another tire of the 75 size and it wasn't really that much taller...They are slightly skinnier though.

LT - light truck

Mainly for having more stuff in the rear, and different driving styles.

I know at 88psi the ride will be jarring.

The tire shop guy said that they're used on heavy duty commercial-type trucks that carry alot of weight all the time. Now so much for "play" trucks like ours..So I guess the extra air pressure is to allow the heavier capacity? Anyone really know?

I know that with my old car at least I had called the tire company (kumho) to ask about inflation pressure, and also the tire place and they both said always go with the factory recommended tire pressure on the door. Max inflation pressure doesn't mean the tire should be run at that psi. Granted that wasn't a truck but I would assume it still holds true. If in doubt why not give general tire a call?

Yeah, the BFG's that came on my truck are the LT series and I run them at 35psi all the way around. The only reason that they canhold more pressure is because the LT tire is built with a higher ply rating than a P tire. Basically the LT is built a little stronger so that you can carry a heavier load. The load ratings are C, D, and E on the LT tires. The ply count for the tires are P=4 ply, C=6ply, D=8ply, and E=10ply.

Pointless rambling done!
