Hey all, I grabbed a set of 17" rims so I could swap to a set of winter tires next winter. The tire load rating of the truck is 110T. I found a set of Toyo GSI-6 LS that are rated at 115H. Looks like the weight and speed are both higher so Im assuming they will be fine? Anything Im missing or a reason these wouldnt work? Thanks all.

You should be fine. Replacement tires should not have lower load and speed ratings.

You'll have a more comfortable ride, and probably slightly better fuel economy, if you stay closer to the load rating and size on the sticker in the driver's door opening. It's not unsafe to use heavier tires, but I wouldn't do it without a good reason.

If anything just make sure you are using a good snow tire. Assuming you do load the truck here and there I have found the Cooper m&s to be a good winter tire.

We got the lowest dollar steel rims made for the ranger and put Blizzak's on them. Been good so far.
