P.S. — By the way, wasn’t suggesting that sometimes axles don’t exceed tire capacity. In my case, the rear is limited to 6,084 pounds due to tires, but axle is rated around 6,400 pounds.

Also, on...

I don’t necessarily agree with that logic/assumption because the lighter E-350s are rated even lower in spite of using the identical tires. Ford detail specs show the E-450 rear axle at 9,600...

blw2, I’m not sure we should rule out the benefits of C-rated “Commercial” tires even if his experience/experiment doesn’t work out well. There are other brands also, which may be more expensive,...

That doesn’t apply in my case.

My OEM tire size is even wider at LT245/75R16 with load rating of 120 (only used as singles, not duals). Compared to smaller tires used on E-350/450 Class Cs, my...

I purchased a commercial-rated 16” tire the size used on Ford Transit vans as a spare, so can’t rate performance. It’s a little wider and lower profile than what comes on E-Series Class Cs.

LT tires, when properly loaded and operated, can last over 10 years and 80,000 miles. My Michelins did -- not that it's a good idea to keep them that long.

These tires are rated at 3,750 pounds each for singles at 100 PSI, hence 7,500 pounds for front axle. The E-450 front axle is rated up to 5,000 pounds, so tire maximum rating exceeds that of axle by...
