I drive a 1997 Western Star Triaxle boom truck For a living, it's a company truck we supply and delivery landscapers material, concrete products and natural stone, all heavy stuff. My trucks GVWR is 86,000 lbs. Just got 6 new drive tires (rear) for it today, tires that are suppose to be on it are 16pl., which is what they took off, new tires are 14pl. and only hold 105psi. of air, 16pl. holds 120psi of air. Tire size the same.
The problem is first load they put on my truck the new tires budge out more than the ones they took off and I'm not maxed out.
Tire shop says the new tires are fine for my truck.
Door sticker on my truck says "tire size, 16pl, at 120psi, for so much weight (load).
Question: Am I worried about nothing or is there something wrong here?
Would like to here your opinions on this.
