mesa Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I just bought a newer TV and the tires looked new but when I got home and looked them over it says Max psi 44 lbs,these are Americus All terrain 265/70 R18 since all my other tire had a max pressure of 80 psi I am a tad on the confused side. Any thoughts out there? TIA Quote Mike Foster 2020 Transcend 221RB 2017 Chevrolet 2500 HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Happy Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I'd be looking for load rating that's stamped on the tire itself. Now if your other tires where aired up to 80 PSI, they're probably :E" rated or maybe even higher. I'm thinking the tire you have now are passenger cars.

SWharton Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Also check the mfg date of the tires, sounds like a tire that was put on to sell the RV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertraveler Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) According to this description the Americus All terrain 265/70 R18 has a load index of 116 and Load Range SL. According to this chart, a load index of 116 is 2756#. This article provides an explanation of what the Load Range: SL designation means. The Goodyear Wrangler 265/70R18 tires on my truck have a load index of 124/121; 3527# single, 3197# dual; Load Range E.
