Excursion wheel/tire package Qs

[TitoTW]

I was looking at your site and I found a few packages very appealing,
our 2003 Excursion has the original normal factory height, the only addition are air bags on the back, not often but from time to time we tow our 28ft enclosed car trailer ( thats the reason for the rear air bags) so my question is can this package handle this towing conditions ? does the FREE shipping apply to this packages ? I don't have any plans to install a lift kit or do any alterations to the current set up.

This are the package I'm looking at

(4) LT265/75R16D1 119Q B Nitto Terra Grappler AT tires with
(4) 16X8 8-170 -6C MB Wheels Gunner 8 wheels.

or this package

(4) LT265/75R16D1 119Q B Nitto Terra Grappler AT tires with
(4) 16X8 8-170 -6AM MB Wheels Gunner 8 wheels

Thanks for the post TitoTw.

The tires you are looking at are rated up to 3000lbs at 65psi.
The wheels you are looking at are rated up to 3415lbs.

I would recommend going with the LT265/75R16E 123Q for your application. The 123Q's are rated up to 3415lbs at 80 psi. This would be a safer tire for you and you will be able to adjust the air up to the full 80psi when you tow if you choose.

Great wheel choice by the way. The Gunner 8 is a sharp wheel.
