changing 2003 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TIRES
Hello,
I have like 25K miles .. and yday had a blow out... on my left rear tire.( there was a 2 inch hole on the side if it. ) got a new one installed at sams .. i wanted to know if it is better in the long run to change the second rear, also.. and /or change the front too. the other tires are.. in good/avg shape... how do u measure /rate a conditon of the tire.. I can still see quite some tread left also.. one more thing.. the VAN recommneds 36psi for the tires.. which have a MAX rating of 44PSI.. now this one tire I installed has a MAX RATING of only 35PSI... and the guy at sams told me that I can fill it till 35PSI.. is that fine to keep one at its MAX 35 PSI and others at 36PSI.. |

The 44psi tires are heavier load range (prob light truck "LT" tires), the
tire from Sams may be underrated for the application, so firtst I'd be sure you have the right tire. Then I'd be inclined to run a matched pair (brand/model/size) on the axle, but first things first, get a proper size & load range tire installed.

Thanks for all the insightful advice.
the TIRE RATING is 735Kgs. the original TIRE on my Van( on the remaining 3 wheels is ) 750Kgs. now. the tire i installed is a P215/70R15 tubeless radial. Someone advised me to atleast replace an axle at a time ie. 2. so I should change one more. but as I said earlier, the other 3 tires have quite a lot of TREAD left on them. also, I am a bit paranoid on getting another blow out and the last time it was the read left. so should I buy one more tire( 80 bucks) and put the new 2 ones onto the front axle, and leave 2 old ones on the rear. thanks in advance * wrote: > wrote in article > . com>... > > > > > > also.. one more thing.. the VAN recommneds 36psi for the tires.. which > > have a MAX rating of 44PSI.. > > > > now this one tire I installed has a MAX RATING of only 35PSI... and the > > guy at sams told me that I can fill it till 35PSI.. > > > If max. inflations and max loads do not match, the replacement tire does > not equal the original tire. > > The "tire expert" at Sams was probably selling meat last week. > > What is the "load rating" on the old tire versus the new tire? |
