Anyone running sumitomo hrt z 3's on a standard cab silverado? I've picked some up and worried about the load index on them. Not going to be hauling anything, just driving to work and back home. The load index for the tire is 1,709 a tire, the trucks gross weight is 4,082 lds. Worried they will fail on me. Thanks for the input.

OEM tire comes with around a minimum 2,300lb rating. The tires you have are far under that, and are meant for sedans, coupes, small SUVs, etc. These tires will likely wear ungodly fast, and could be dangerous to you and other drivers. No sense in running them when there are other budget friendly options, return and get something else.
