Any 265/70/R17 Load Rang G Tires?

[larrym]

I've searched here and read numerous threads, and been on the internet for several hours looking for load range G tires for my truck, in 17", I can't find anything. By the same token, I can't find any steel ribbed 17" with a load capacity over 3195 #'s my current E range tires have.

Any ideas or leads? Thanks

HI THERE THERE ARE NO G TIRES THAT SISE I CHECKED WITH MY TIRE SUPPLIER. I OWN THE SAME TRAILER TOW IT WITH A 3500 DODGE TD DUALLY NO TIRE ISSUES IN 70K OF TOWING. THERE ARE SOME WHEEL/TIRE UPDATES BUT THEY COST $$$$$$$ 19" WHEELS. THEY SAY THEY WILL LAST A LONG TIME LIKE OVER 100K FOR OUR USE. BUT AGAIN THE CONVERSTION IS LIKE 4GRAND AND THAT BUY ALOT OF GOOD QUALITY 17 LOAD RANGE E TIRE. I SAW THESE CONVERTIONS IN THE DODGE TURBO REGISTRY. BUT IAM SURE THE COMPANY HAS THEM FOR FORDS AND CHEVYS.

Thanks Barney, man, they're proud of those babies! I understand there are some Michelin's that have three steel belts in the E (221 rating by other standards), and possibly a Goodyear or something out there. I've read good about Nitto, but can't find any data on their construction.

The reason I'm looking, my '09 tires, E rated, although tons of tread, have very small cracking going on near the rim edge, not sure I should trust them.

You liking the 3750FL? Any issues? Ours isn't done yet, maybe mid February...

Diggin' you're pet names, we just moved here from almost 40 years in Alaska, small world.

HI LARRYM MY WIFE AND I LOVE THE FRONT LIVING ROOM. WE HAVE ONLY HAD MINOR ISSUES NOTHING WORTH GRIPPING ABOUT. THE DOOR TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD IN THE BATHROOM HAS CLEAR GLASS SO THE WHOLE WORLD WILL KNOW IF IT IS BOXERS OR BRIEFS. WE FIXED THAT WITH A PRODUCT CALLED WALLPAPER FOR WINDOWS. TRUE VALUE HAS IT OR GO ON LINE. ITLETS IN LOTS OF LIGHT AND KEEPS EVERYONE FROM SEEING IN. THE CABINETS IN THE DINING AREA AND OVER THE BED OPEN UPWARD BUT DO NOT HAVE SUPPORTS TO KEEP THEM OPEN. BUT HANKEYE TOLD ME ABOUT SUPPORTS FROM CAMPING WORLD 7 BUCKS A PAIR FIXED THAT ISSUE. THE AREA BETWEEN THE STOVE AND FIDGE IS TIGHT AND A LITTLE DARK. AND WITH MY COOKING YOU DODN'T WANT TO OOK ANYWAY. AS FAR AS THE TIRES GO A LIGHT CHECKING ON THE SIDEWALLS IS OK AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT GO INTO THE NEXT LAYER AND YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PEAL THE OUTER LAYER WITH YOUR FINGER NAIL. IF YOU CANT DO THAT THEN YOU ARE OK. HERE IN CT THEY USE LOTS OF SALT IN THE WINTER SO WE GET THAT CHECKING IN THE SIDE WALLS NEVER HAD AN ISSUE.. MY WIFE AND I HONEY MOONED IN ALASKA IN NOVEMBER YEP WE ARE NUTS. BEEN BACK 5 TIMES NEVER IN THE SUMMER. WORKED THE IDITAROD ONE YEAR. WHAT A BLAST. ENJOY THAT BEAUTIFUL MONTANA BARNEY CHRISTINE AND THE MUTE MUTTS.
