Apparently it is getting hard to find these old tire style. They list it as not being made anymore. Any suggestions for additional makes of tires. Live in Longmont CO and we ski alot and his the normal hwy snow and ice. Also I go to Moab and run some of the lighter listed trails but some need some pretty strong tires. I was told the 10 ply tires were to heavy for this model. Thanks

E-rated tires (10 ply) are overkill for these vehicles. People do run them, it can be done, but it does compromise the ride and the extra weight (10+ lbs on each corner) negatively effects fuel economy and suspension wear. How much? I dunno.

These come in a C-rating, as do K02s in the same size (and are also available in 265/70 17 in this rating and E-rating). This is the "lightest" duty LT rating, just above P-rated tires (stock type of tire) which are sometimes considered B rated.
I'm also actively searching fro tires. Current plan is to go with the ST Maxx 255/75, which are slightly taller and narrower than the stock 265s. My next best option was going to be the 275 K02s, but I'm not sure if I want to take that plunge.
