[FC] Wheels for a RS

[James Davis]

All P205/75-14 are rated at 95 or 1,535 lbs load at 34 psi or 44 psi  For 
trucks and SUV you are not supposed to exceed the 90% rating of the tire or 
1381 lbs.  The max load of the FC is 4,600 lbs (according to the shop 
manual and data plate) or 1,150 per tire.  Thus any tire of that size is 
fine.  You need to run about 25 psi all around for no load and go up to 30 
psi for the loaded truck (1885 lbs).  For the tires that require 44 psi for 
the rated load, the figures would be 30/37.  There is no need for a LT tire 
or Euro-metric tire.
