Now I am no expert on this, but in my opinion even if you did go to a bigger tire, the factory sets the weight ratings of the rear axle. I think if you were to get bigger tires that can handle more weight you would be over grossing your rear axle. The 2500HD is rated up to 3,000lbs of kingpin weight in the bed according to the brochure. I have almost 22K on these tires already and when the time comes to get new ones I will be buying the same tires that came standard on the truck. They have done well by me.
