OK... So here's what I finally did. I went to a local Discount Tire store and the manager came highly recommended by several people I know. He said although the BFG All Terrain AT Load Range E tires were "adequate" for my purposes, he recommended a commercial rated tire with a much tougher...

No I haven't checked it yet but I seriously doubt that anyone would pay attention to that since people have been abiding by the weights on the plate with the VIN and weights on it for many many years and I've never heard of someone saying that information and the advertised wet wait of the...

From what I read the stock tire size for this pickup is LT265/70R17/E and I found the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 - LT265/70R17E 121S Tire which I have on a couple of my other trucks and I gotta say I LOVE these tires and they're load range E if you get part number 29668. I really don't know...
