Need 10 ply Tires ?

I currently run 315's on my 04 2500. I need to get some good tires for towing 10,000-16,000 pounds. Are there any 300+/70/17 tires that are 10 ply e rated ? Suggestions

The only ones I can think of off the top, are nitto terra grapplers, and bfg mt km2s. I know that they are both ten ply tires, not sure if they are available in 300+ size for 17's or not.

I do know that the nittos are available for sure in 285 and 295/70/17 ten ply rating.

See my sig and yes you can get a 305/70R/17 E rated. Had trouble finding a 315 though.

I'm kind of leaning towards a 285. Lots of selection. Does anyone have pictures of their Dodges with the fender flares (Bushwacker, Xenon) with a set of 285's. I'm curious to know what it looks like.

Terra Dura's 285 75 17 3800lb rated tire

I have been looking for a taller tire as well that is meant for towing with a heavy load. My choice is to buy the Nitto Terra Dura's 285 / 75 / 17 - tires have close to a 4000 lb rating which is much higher than most. I also believe that these are one of the few if any tires available in a 285 / 75 / 17, all others are 70 series.

Just my 2 cents

You can find E rated 305/65/17s and 33/12.50/17s "Extreem A/Ts, ATZs, and Fun Countrys to be just a few" But the 285s are rated for more weight and I believe last a bit longer.

I just picked up Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo II.
They are E load rated.

My 35" Interco Vortacs are E rated.

If you're looking for E rated 285's there's way more out there than 315's (35's).

Don't really need flarers with 285's, I had them before these ones, they don't stick out on stock wheels.
