I never recommend using grease with Nylon Bushings #TRBU11566. The grease can trap dirt which will cause the nylon to become damaged easier. And the chemicals in different greases can cause the nylon bushings to break down. If you want to use Grease…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
