anybody try these yet? can't find clear info on them...it appears they may be a 'P' rated rather than 'LT' rated tire.

really want to put a set of about 33" tires on chrome H2's but am leery of BFG KO's.

thanks

If you're putting them on a diesel you are going to want a D or E load range not a P rating.

thanks, i'm well aware of that but have not been able to find any solid info regarding load rating, # of plies etc. to determine if they will work. hoping someone has first hand knowledge they can enlighten me with.

These must be new. They only offered a 265/70 in a 17 as of recently. If you're leary of BFG's Toyo makes a 285/70/17 and Nitto has a 295/70/17 which is a really nice size.

If you don't like the BFGs, go with the Nitto Terra Grappler in LT285/70R17... they are E-rated.

I've got the Toyo's on my truck and am very pleased with them. Pics in my garage.

I have tried the search capability to try and look for info on this tire size and it keeps coming back with 0 found. Not sure what is going on but if some one has tried these please let me know.

local tire store says he can order them but they are backordered and he has no info on load rating and # plies

net searched and found very little info, 44psi max inflation (sounds like c rating at best) but no word on LT or P etc.

apparently a very new size just becoming available....really love to hear from someone who has had their hands or at least eyes on them

thanks

I've ran a couple sets of 4 and 6 ply tires on the dirty max. the only outcome i've come away with is that they tend to wear down a whole lot faster. didn't have any issues with load rating. if that helps.
