Please make sure that the tires you select meet the load index requirements for your vehicle. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 31 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 31 | I'm looking at Michelin LT215 85R 16 with a Load Index: 115 (2679 lbs.) | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Those tires will have plent of capacity for your 3100. That size is a E laod range, basically a 10 ply tire, comapred to the 4 or 6 ply tires that came on it factory.
