I am between a few different brand tires and wanting to get some feedback on them and what everyone thinks of them. All three are 305X65r17 and are load rated at 2600lbs.
First question is this load rating high enough for a my truck?
Second the three different tires are Mickey thompson MTZ, Dick Cepek Mud Country, and Dick Cepek FC-II.
Let me know what ya'll think and any other tire recomendations are welcome but need the same size as above and want the white lettering also.

from working in the industry...MT will be the best bet! DC's dont hold up as well.

If you're going to tow or haul I would stick with "E" tires. You might be fine if all you do is ride around, but if not and you're in an accident they'll check your door sticker and tire ratings.

I run the Nitto terra grapplers and am very happy with them even though they are only D load rating. I believe the load rating per tire is about the same as the wheel which is ~3200 which is the stock wheel's rating. I don't think they have the white letters though.

If at all possible try to match or exceed the rating on the door sticker

I dont haul much even when i do it is not a heavy load but i understand what you all are saying and thanks for pointing that out. It just seems that the size i want every tire that has the white lettering has a lower load rating and the tires that have the higher load rating dont have the white lettering.
