Thanks for the replys. Too many damn choices though ugh. Pretty sure it's gonna come down to a literal coin flip between 1750s or new 1250s and some sort of helper, well see what happens.

Please do not "flip a coin". Everytime you do, you create an alternate timeline and increase the chances of creating an evil version of yourself who will try to destroy our current timeline. It's simply not worth the risk.

That must be why everything goes haywire during football season. It's all those coin tosses.

Fun fact, Tom Brady actually died in 2005, he is constantly being replaced by other Tom Bradys from evil alternative timelines...

It really depends on the ride quality you want. If you want ride quality and don’t haul a lot, 1250s are the way to go. Just get helps that only engage if you are carrying a load.

Otherwise, just get the 1750s and be done with it. The ride will be the same.

If you run a bigger tire like I do, they help soften the ride some due to more side wall flex.

Since I’m paying for a class 2 load rating, I’m making sure I get my money’s worth. PA makes you pay extra registration fees if your truck is able to haul more that 1,200 pounds. The 2011, off the lot, was 50 pounds over that limit.

yes. At 1250 lbs, you are obviously causing extreme undue wear and tear on the pavement.

Glad I left PA years ago.

Commonwealth states are some of the worst -_-

Thanks for the input Sarge. I think I'll just go for the 1750s, mostly because Im cheap, and don't want to have to spend 80-200 more bucks on helpers lol. 80-200 bucks goes a long way towards new tires for the wheeler or a winch.
