Well, after reading your picky butt liked these tires, :laugh: I went looking for them to see what a set would cost....make yours last, they seem to be discontinued...:rolleyes2:. This happens all too often with me...find something I might like and they have become unobtainium.
I can't stand the Coopers I bought several years ago off tire rack. The pic was a true 5 rib, P series but the LT series came with a block tread that, even though I am half deaf, drive me nuts from the road noise and it's only getting worse as they wear...:bs:

Yes, but it only comes in 1 size and it's not the size I need.

What size do you need Mitch?

The R265 5-Rib Load Range E posted is definitely the same tread pattern.

Too Many Projects 10-28-2024 02:29 AM

The size associated with the R265 is listed as 245/75/16. I need 265/70/17. Could be a misprint, but I chased this around the web for 1/2 hour this morning trying to find a 265.

Do you need load range E?

It's what I prefer as a safety margin for pulling the trailers. Way over rated for a 1500 Silverado, but when I travel with the car trailer, I carry a LOT of "stuff" with for emergencies and such.

i put falkens on me ram 2500 with the cummins and theyve lasted 45,000 miles. not many tires last long with that heavy diesel in the front. they run super quiet.

Donnie 10-28-2024 05:57 PM

thats why I stick with the MICHELIN LTX A/T 2 ... 60,000 mile warranty and they are quiet.

Anyone have a truck with the Allison trans from this period. After changing the fluid and both filters, I have a small leak. Didn't even have a drip before the change. Not leaking from either the pan or the external filter. The leak is EITHER from the shift seal OR the gasket/seal located under the electrical plug at the back of the trans.

Guessing neither of those is that difficult to fix.
