Comin up on that time to replace the 285's i currently have with some 315's.. also need new rims to replace the tiny stockers..

Ideally id like to find some load range e 315's on all black 17"s..

Ranchand on the front has taken toll on the springs so skyjacker d25's will be done to help a bit with clearance on the tires.

Suggestions?

I like the cooper sst's, but i dont see load ratings for them..

The Toyo open country MT's are available in load E i think.

Rims im leaning toards KMC XD122 or XD766:

122's



766's



795's



Coopers SST



Toyo MT




Looking to do this right before summer, so about 2-3 months out.

Plenty time to research.

Just make sure when you chose wheels you make sure there wheels them selfs are rated for our trucks. alot of the wheels that fit our trucks are not desinged to take the weights that our trucks have and can haul.

The Toyo 35-12.50-17's(same as 315's) are "E" rated. Quiet,super strong tires that balance up with minimal weight.

That's got to be one of the few. I didn't know anyone made a "E" load range tire in 315 or 35. Most are "D's" but if you look at the weight rating, they are about the same as a smaller "E".

Just noticed that this is a 2nd gen post. Toyo does offer a 315-75-16 in load range "E" also. same characteristics.

i want the wheels in the first pic.!! i think toyo makes e rated 35's. not sure what wheel size. but i do believe the 315/75/16 is.

i had a set of the cooper stt and they wore quick and were loud on the highway. but they rode nice for an agressive tire

My Hankooks are load range E 315/75/16s.

Thanks for all the input so far.. Ive been asking around and everyone likes the Toyo's so those are looking pretty good!

Do you know a specific model for those hankooks you have fiveology?

As far as the rims go, forged not cast.

Stay away from cast aluminum rims, they can't handle the weight.

Only forged aluminum or good ole american solid steel.

Good advice.. I still have yet to find weight ratings for these KMC XD rims..

My advice would be to stay away from the SJ coils. They begin to sag right away. IMO you're better off getting a custom set of coils. I had SJ coils and removed them. The ride was getting worse and worse. Also load range letters mean absolutely nothing. You want to see what the tires are rated for. The D rated 315's I had were rated higher than the E rated 265's they replaced.

fiveology

Sure, they are the Hankook MT/RT-03 , they are available in a 35x12.50r17 and a 37x12.50r17 and both are load range E.

The Toyo's are E rated...but only the M/T's. The 315/75/16 A/T's are D rated.

Interco also makes one (SSR) that I have heard good things about.....
