9,00-16 NDT tire is rated at 3333 lbs each load capacity for a total of 13332 pounds. Heaviest ferret is just over 10,000 pounds combat weight. Most are around 8.000 lbs empty. Lots of room for safety on the NDT tires. As well, because they are about 75 pounds lighter, it will reduce the unsprung weight and make for more effective braking.

There are photos of Canadian ferrets with smooth tread commercial tires in the desert.
