Bakari Howard and Drew Howlett discuss the trend of running larger tires on today's HD 3/4 and 1-Ton pickups, and why Load Range F tires are now becoming an important part of Falken's Light Truck tire lineup. There are two basic overlying trends that have posed the need for Load Range F in today's market. You can see the first trend if you look back at ¾ ton and one ton pickups over the past 20 years. These vehicles have gotten significantly heavier over the years, plus more power, bigger diesel engines, more carrying capacity, and more towing capacity. With a simple leveling kit, a lot of these modern trucks can fit a 35x12.50x20 tire. This created a need to make sure these larger aftermarket tire sizes have the proper load index to meet or exceed the original equipment tire’s load index.
