And I'm not seeing the 113 Load Index as being consistent with GAWR, GVWR or GCWR given a prudent margin (15%) as recommended. It is a good 20% below the 121 tires in load carrying capacity.
The tread design looks great, however. On an SUV that doesn't get much above 6k or that tows up to medium-sized TT's it may be fine.
It's all I'll have to say on this. Your truck and your tires.

GVWR for my truck is 9,000 lbs. If we assume equal distribution, that's 2,250 lbs/tire. 113 Load Index is 2,535 lbs. That's a 13% margin, if I calculated things correctly.
Did I miss something?
