Going with tires that are under your axles ratings is a really, really, really BAD thing to do.

Not to flame you but what does GVW mean? Total weight with pin? Do you know what your axles weight? Is the pin weight subtracted, what is a GVW. Total weight? Most list a GVWR.
Again, no flame intended but what are your scaled weights, as I am looking at the Bridgestone R250's also.
Thanks

So here is my question for the LT Fans. Seeing that I am well within the weight ratings on my current tires, the tires are all less than 2 years old, I have a TST monitoring system, not to mention I am just plan anal about checking my tires, ..... when would you replace these tires? Now? Before you went on a 1500 mile trip? In the next year?
You have a TST, check your pressure, have spares, learned to drive slower... Advice from this LT tire fan, use the ST up and replace with LT when they are worn out.
