[A/S] Re: tires on tow vehicle question

["wilkie1020" <wilkie1020@xxxxxxxxx>]

A lot of Tahoes & Suburban 1500's come with 15" load range C tire 
which are car tires. They aren't that good for towing heavy loads. 
You should go to LT ( light truck ) load range E tires if towing 
heavy loads. MY Suburban C2500 came with 245 75 R 16 load range E. I 
put about 50 psi when I'm driving W/O the A/S TT. When I get ready to 
tow the A/S, I increase the pressure to 70/75 psi ( side wall says 
max psi is 80 ). That makes it alittle rougher riding W/O the A/S, 
but I leave them at that psi until I return home & put the A/S in 
storage. Then I let the air out to 50 psi. They discuss this issue on 
the Suburban site every once in a while. Most of the folks do it the 
same way I do.
