Tire information needed....

I'm in need of new tires and looking at getting another set of Revo's. I was looking on tirerack's website and had a few questions.

First question can I put 265/75/16 on stock rims and a stock height truck?

Second question tirerack list three different tire configurations

265/75RR/16 E
265/75SR/16 C
265/75SR/16

I know the RR and SR are the speed ratings but what do the E and C stand for?

Thank you for your help.

load rating indeed. But I dont know what the letters mean in 'X' ply. I have 4 ply winter tires on right now, they are a little squishy for my likes. Thats probobly the 'C' rating.

Should be load ratings

E being the highest load rating, followed by C and so forth.

The tires will fit just fine. There should be no rubbing issues going with that size. Depending on the exact tire, they're only about .75" taller than the stock 265/70's.

the stock 265/70/16's are just about 30.6 inches tall, and 10.4 inches wide, while the 265/75/16's are just around 31.6 inches and still 10.4 inches wide. They will fit fine. I run 265/75/16 Kumho Road Venture A/T's on ym 04 D cab Taco.

Thank you Bob,

When I did use the search function the information is so confusing and different from post to post it's tough to figure out what the correct answer is.

I was just trying to get a straight answer.

P-rate/4ply
C-6ply
D-8ply
E-10ply

i just blew a sidewall on my 10ply tires, and am running the stock p-rate, and it is very squishy, i hate it. go with the C or D rate tires. if you get the bfg a/t you lose the severe weather rating with the 10 ply(no clue why), but i assume it's still the same tire.
