Yes, we carry tires through load range J. Moving up load range will increase the ply rating of your tire and may slightly increase the capacity if the tires were the weakest component in the system.

When changing tires, you will want to pay attention to the tire size and make sure you are only moving one level from the manufacturer's rating or you may get a rigid ride and even wheel hop.
