Hey all, I normally would not do something like this, but I have a set of 255/45/18 Cooper Zeon 2XS's on some rims that I was running on a sports car before. I am needing to swap some tires off the rear of my L and would like to use these tires before they just go to waste. They are nearly new and if I can use them, I'd like to get the life out of them. The load index on the stock Goodyears on our trucks is a 90, the Coopers are a 84. Our trucks have an estimated curb weight of 4670 and the tires have a max load of 1235 each. This would leave me with about 100lbs to play with. I just want to put these on two rims. My front tires are nearly new, so I was playin with putting those on the rear and putting the Coopers up front...but to get the weight off the Coopers, would it make sense to put them on the rear?
Keep in mind, I'm also asking to see if anybody even thinks this is a decent idea. I want to still be safe, and in the name of safety and keeping my truck nice, I'd rather not blow out a tire just because I want to use them.
Thanks!
