You say the 35x12.5x17 is rated at 3640 pound with a load range E. 4wheelparts states that tire to be 3640 but D?
I noticed that to. They didn't have any rating on them earlier and now they have the D there. Might be a typo as Interco has them as 10 ply rating but no E or D.

I was talking to the Interco folks at an offroad expo we had down here in Hammond, La. a few weeks ago. I asked what kind of responses they were getting about these on our trucks. The rep says he's been getting reports of 40K miles + on these. For the price, ya just can't beat it.

On a few of Interco's tires, they have 10 ply rating, but low lb loading. You have to be watchful... they can have 10 plys but have a load rating that is common for load range D.

Any update on these tires? I'm about due to replace my pro-comps.

Got about 15K on them now and holding up pretty well. Took a trip to Idaho this summer and put some long road miles on them and they are still flat, no cupping, or other concerns. Just about 40% wear in 15k and I drive it pretty hard unloaded.

So far I'm satisfied.

Thanks for the update, I think I'm going to give them a try they are still the best price out there for a tire this size.

4wparts website claims $266 apiece. Yikes! We can get Toyos for not much more.

www.treadepot.com. 35-12.50-17's are $316 to your door. I've got a local place that'll do $1330 otd w/rotation,balance and flat repair. I like the Vortrac's size and tread,just wish they were still at $216. Toyo need to release an "E" rated AT. The MT is overkill for me w/10" of rain annually here.

I'm with you, my truck spends most it's time on the road, be it paved, gravel or dirt. I rarely get into a situation where I'd need a full out mud tire. But I'm thru with anything but an "E" rated tire. The pro-comps were nice at first but overtime the sidewalls became soft I guess is the right word.

Yeah I got mine before the increase. Probably wouldn't buy them now since there are a lot of good tires at or near the higher price.

Based on the load of lead I had to add to balance I'll spend a little more for the tires next time and hope to get the big weights off the wheels.

Don't get me wrong though for just over $800 buck they were a deal. The key is "were"
