Sounds like you're trying to "muscle up" your Hybrid with an all-terrain tire, should have got a XLT w/FX4, or a Tremor, both of which would have come with 17" wheels. Or sell the 19's and get a wheel that gives you more choices.
exactly.
I don't necessarily disagree w/the use of 103-load rating tires on a 4K-equipped truck, they should have stiffer sidewalls and minimize squirm when towing. But again, he bought a non-FX4/Tremor truck, meant to be a pavement princess. Plenty of on-road tire options available in 103/19".

I understand the general best practice of not reducing load rating on tires, but when you do the math the difference total load bearing is not that great, and it's nowhere near overloaded if you were to have max payload... which is way more weight on the tires than max towing by itself. (1500 pounds in the bed vs 400 on the tongue.)Yeah my pavement princess won't even get driven! I'll just leave it parked in the garage
Actually I intend to tow full capacity, and the tire sticker inside the driver's door jamb specifies 103T ...
There are actually (2) versions of the Trail, in the 235/65R-17 Tremor size. Look at the large UTQG difference between the 104 and 108 versions, plus the 104 is not 3-Peak rated.
