Heads up - CT's 285-65-20 tire is D load range

[HammaMan]

Seems tesla coordinated with goodyear to make what is essentially a 35 x 11.5 20 in the D load range. Not sure when/if these will be available from retailers, but it's nice to see a lighter tire in this size potentially end up an option.

Any idea what that means for tire weight?

Pure speculation but these should be the lightest of this tire class which is well into high 60lb+ range. Tesla is at the top of the efficiency in their EVs and to get a better than lightning range with a smaller battery in a heavier platform running 35's natively vs lightning's tires that basically are factory F150 grade stuff, should translate to a noticeably better driving experience.

Ford's LT tires they use on the HDPP are also D rated tires which is just something you don't see anywhere. Try to find D rated tires in the larger sizes and they're just not there.
