Chad -

There has been a lot of talk about reinforced tires over the years.  Could
you take a look at those and see what the maximum pressure and carrying
capacity is?  Do they also have a load rating number?  It would be a two or
three digit number like 95 or 103.

I've always been curious about how they compare to the light truck tires I
have been using.  The door sticker on my Westy says to use 185/14 PR, (which
I assume means reinforced) or 205/14 97 (load rating 97 ~ 1600# carrying
capacity).

Out here I have had best results finding 195/14 Light Truck tires with load
ratings from 93 to 103.

Thanks
