I tow in the range of 15 to 25k regularly and i had a set of dynapro ATM's and i put 64,000 miles on them and i just had a blow out ,these tires have been great. Depending on your ride height i would suggest a 33 or a 35 ,at stock height i ran 33's with minimal rubbing,after the lift i run 35's with no rub

Just get an E range tire of your choice. I had a D rated Bridgestone AT blowout on the freeway that almost sent me over a cliff. $3300 damage in seconds. I've run E rated Toyos ever since with super luck.

The letter "E" is not just the only thing to look at, this is just a way of stating it is a 10 ply equivalent. Have a look at the load index number, that is as important or more. A load range E tire can have a load capacity ranging from 3200 (121) to 3750 (126). With what we haul in these trucks an extra 2000 lbs of tire capacity can be a good thing. ( based on 4 tires). I have had great luck with the Nitto TG and the M55, both in an E at a 126 rating for a 285/75/16.

Very true. My last 285-75-17 MT's as well as my AT2's have the 3195# or 121 rating. The Bridgestone AT's that blew out,were easily cut and had constant flats were rated at 3300# @ 65psi. I wish mine were at least 126,but they're are doing fine with zero tailwag.

I've never seen a 235/86 or 245/75 E rated tire that wasn't rated around 3100-3200 pounds. Stepping up to something like a 285/75, will get the 3700# rating, but anything wider looks stupid on stock wheels.

The Nitto Duragrapplers have that high rating in the 285-75-17's. Terra grapplers are 3195# rated in that size.

You sure the Terra Grapplers weren't D rated?

A 285/75 holds a lot of air, and can carry a lot more weight at the same pressure.

I have been running 285/75 R16 Yokohama Geolander ATs on my '01 for several years, they wear evenly, and last longer than the BFGs / Coopers I have run in the past.

The TG's are e-rated to 3195# as my Toyos are. Nittos 295's are rated similarly. My old Toyo 285-70-17 AT's were rated 129 and 3900#.

My Ram came with Michelins and have 70k on them with minor issues, tire losing air b/c of nail, but no blow outs and still have much tread but need to replace b/c tires are 6+ yrs old and not safe to tow across country with 12k in tow. I only buy and use Michelins on my vehicles. Best, in my opinion.

Danderson

That's all I use on our Honda Pilot,but I'm lucky to get 45K out of them. Michelin declines to offer an e-rated oversized tire in a 17".

Must rotate tires with or without involving the spare to get max mileage. I always do until the end is near then it is the best on the rear and other two on front end. I know most think this is not correct but in case of a blow out I can still steer the front but back will cause loss of control at speed.
