Deuce,

Be careful. Some of those tires are "standard load" which, I think, means "B" load range. B is the lightest duty passenger car tire rating.
They will ride like a cloud but will puncture very easily. If you got D or E for that price you got a great deal.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I was under the assumption that the only 315/70/17 tire produced is the BFG All Terrain. This tire has a D load range. It was specifically developed for the Hummer H2. This is why there are so many companies selling them at an inexpensive price....lots of people with H2s ditched the factory wheels for 20 inchers with rubber band tires and no offroad capabilities.

You definitely don't want to run a Load Range B tire on our rigs, but I honestly doubt you will find any that are 315s.

Re:Hummer 2 rims

You should be fine....like I said...I'm almost positive the BFG All Terrain is the only 315/70/17 tire manufactured.
