I'm considering trying Potenza Re92's on this truck. I'm currently running Winterforce P195/75R14 and they seem fine. I'd go from 814 rev's per mile to 926 which is more than 10% more rev's. I believe that will translate to rpm directly. My current rpm at 55mph is 2000 even so I could afford to sacrifice some. I think that puts me at 2200+ with the re92's.

I would lose a bit of load rating, but according to my calculations I can get away with Potenza's running a load of 6 appliances and be right at max load rating. Thoughts on flirting with max load rating? I am quite curious about how these tires would perform on this truck.
