Re: Anyone tow with Revo 285/70 r17s?

Correct me if this line of thinking is incorrect. The way I see it, the maximum load for the Revo in this tire size is 2833 lbs. I assume this is per tire meaning maximum of 5666 lbs for the rear. With a curb weight of about 5500 lbs , assume half of the curb weight to be in the rear, or about 2750 lbs. So in theory, your maximum load in the rear would be a little over 2900 lbs.

Your maximum payload does not exceed the maximum tire load, so you should be okay. In other words, if you approached the tires maximum load, you would be over your trucks payload capacity.

LT tires will probably be a bit better for sidewall stiffness and better handling when towing, but a bit more harsh when driving unloaded.
