Hey,
Looking to get news tires for the tahoe, and I narrowed it down to good year duratrack and cooper st max. The overall load index for my car is 6800lb and duratrack is 2470 and cooper st are 3086. I was looking to go with the duratrack because it is a lighter tire. Which will not totally kill my mpg. I also installed third row seats in my car so there is that added weight. So my question is should i go with the heavier tires in order to have higher load index or is that overkill. I also went with these tires cause i was looking for tires that are good in the snow (otherwise i drive highway mainly) and as much as i hate to say it but i do like the aggressive tread look as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if there is any reason i should steer clear of those tires?
