Low Profile Tire "Load Index" Question
I just spoke to a larger tire chain that says they can't sell me low profile tires (35 series) because my truck is too heavy. What's the workaround here?

1997 C1500 Project
Hey All, I'm brand new to the forum. Checking in from Orange County, Ca. I had a blue 1990 C1500 lowered 5/7 on 17" Boyd Turbo Techs (Avatar pic) when I was a teenager, and always regretted selling it. Feeling a bit nostalgic I picked up a stock 1997 over the weekend, and plan to go with a...- oldelpasso
