Thanks for the input Cosmick. The change I'm considering is going from 195/75/r14 to 165/65/r14. I am considering this because the Re92's only come in that size and are widely considered one of the most fuel efficient tires readily available.

I hear what you're saying about liability, but I'm not as concerned with that as I am with capability. The most I could ever imagine running on a super heavy load would be 4,200lbs total, and standard full load of appliances measured at the scrap yard today was 3,870lbs including a passenger and all my tools. The 165/65/r14's would be rated for 3,748 total.
