Message: [QUOTE="TrickTruck, post: 1475305, member: 6044"] I guess I'd just call it a very loose feeling in the back of the truck. As it turns out, Discount Tire will !NOT! replace the tires. They say that the TG2 does not have enough weight rating for an F350. My statement that I'm not so stupid to overload my tires got nowhere and there is no other tire which fits a 22" wheel and is capable of the weight rating of an F350. Whatever. I did notice that when I checked the tires in Knoxville and found them to be inflated to 95psi, I dropped them to 70psi they seemed better. So while sitting at Discount Tire I made them call Nitto and get a load chart for these tires. Dropped them to 60psi and it's better. Went to the CAT scales (truck is a pig at 9800lbs w/ a full tank of fuel) and by the weight of the vehicle and the load chart I could drop them another 10 psi and still be safe. Likely my mileage would suffer as well and it's already pretty horrible at 14.5mpg (corrected by 5% for the larger radius) running empty at highway speeds. Makes no sense to me that dropping psi makes the tire perform better in the corners and sway, but it's hard to argue with what's happening. [/QUOTE]
