Gross rear axle weight rating (at least on the 2018 1500s) is 3,950 lbs. Looks like most of the tires available in the stock 255/70R17 size are S rated which a quick glance shows are good for ~2,400 lbs a piece, so, you would be okay with S rated tires but stepping up to an E rated (3,200 lbs capacity) would give you a bit more margin.
Yep, looks like even E rated tires for that diameter net you ~2,800 lbs of capacity each (BFG all terrains). What kinda tread pattern you are looking for?

to bad, it's kind of a rush
At 140 crashing usually equals dying. I'll pass. Before you die Fentanyl is awesome....
Anything over 80, means pretty much dying when you crash... the higher the number, the smaller the chunks left...
I get nervous on the Ascella train after Westerly RI. After I hear the dung dung next stop noise i always wake up.
I've only tested the T2 up to 120 or so.
I've accidentally gotten up to almost 100 driving down straight, empty, open road in the M. You just don't realize how damn fast you're going in that car when you don't have a moving context because it's not struggling. I've pushed it intentionally up towards 135 when I first got it and even then it wasn't scary, but I would have been a lot more comfortable with proper safety (cage, 6-point, helmet, etc). It just doesn't struggle going fast.
I've never really understood this. Yeah, the BMW cruised nice at 80 or above, but those I've always known what speed I was going and I don't see how you can "not notice it". The 426hp Camaro 1 would zoom trough that speed in an instant on it's way to way way higher speeds. Lots of people would come up to me in parking lots and say "man, if I had that car I'd get so many tickets!", which I don't understand. Basically they are telling me they have no self control and can't operate a motor-vehicle responsibly in urban areas? It's not like it's easier or something to break the law in this car, you can easily go 50mph in a 25 in any car, or 80 in a 40, etc. The BMW and German cars do tend to be pretty stable at higher speeds than others, but that era is largely gone unless you are driving a one of the many subcompact rental cars I usually get on business trips, because they realize a large percentage of their users cruise at 80-100 these days. A fast car will usually be more comfortable faster, but I've never really understood the "I didn't even realize" line. If they are that distracted while driving, maybe they shouldn't be driving?
So are you going to get some wider tires or what?
The M5 gets more stable and smooth at 70+. The e46 M3 starts to get bouncy (not harsh though) at around 85. My Subaru and the Infiniti get wobbly around 70+ and the Subaru gets loud. The M doesn't get wind loud at any speed that I've taken it to.
am using 235/265 michelin pilot sport 4s right now, which is probably as big as I can safely go.
I heavily use the speed limiter in everyday traffic.
This is 100% true. Wifey refuses to drive it, it terrifies my Dad, and I only have maybe 4-5 friends who are even comfortable with the concept of driving it. @Nick has driven it and can attest to it. It's analog and the traction control is a joke. It can get away from you and bite you in the ass if you're not ready for it. When I daily it, I maybe use 1/4 throttle at any given point; any kind of deep throttle and you'll go plaid.
I5 is flat and straight. The M5 felt more solid the faster I went.I only hit 140 for a less than a minute before shutting it down. Weird thing is that I went from 4th to 5th to 6th with my foot in it and each time it slammed me back into the seat....400Hp in a car that size is amazing.you could hit 80 mid way down an on ramp without even trying. we programmed the alarm to ding if we hit 80, can't tell you how many times that thing went off... It was sold after less than 6 months.
I´d rather keep my oem knee until I die, than wear it down with a clutch and have it replaced by age 60.
are you saying i’ve got like 15 years left on mine? DAMMIT! 
Yep. I'm set at 80 as well. I'm surprised you needed 6th...
My range in 5th is 70-140, 1250-7850rpm powerband. I don't need to shift.
I was assured that there would be no math.
i dont think it means both are related but the car can go from 70 to 140 in a single gear, while the torque is spread over a 6x range.. meaning the engine can pull without flinching from, say, 3000 to 6000rpm.
I know what he was getting at, but it was a chance to give him shit for unclear wording.
hehe, can do about 25-175 in the Gen 6 in 5th gear, theoretical max is about 190, but it's drag limited before that.
6th gear is for fuel econ, but it'll pull from 45mph with all that torque from 1000rpm. Theoretically it maxes out at 282mph in that gear, assuming you have about 3000hp.
needed ? no I just want to see if in 6th I would get pressed back into the seat like I was in 4th and 5th when I got on the throttle at 120
I keep hearing good things about the Pilotsport 4S and a lot of people are switching to them. Was considering those after these goodyear F1 supercar3s wear out.
