Main question..... do your (or anyones else's) 295/70/17 fit without lift or leveling kits? And...anyone else offer that size?
Thanks

Yes they are still metric tires but the load range D comes with a LT285/70/17. LT gets a 40,000 mile warranty.

Where as the P285/70/17 gets a 50,000 mile warranty in the same tire with a C load rating

Chuck,

IMHO you made a good choice. Although if the Toyo caries a waranty (all be it 40 or 50k) and the Nitto dosent, it may be worth a little more $.
