Ok its time for new tires on one of our work trucks... the 05 F-350 Crew Cab Long Bed Dually 6.0 PSD 4x4.. Factory tires only lasted 60k miles.
We pull our trailers that can weigh up to roughly 10k lbs. It has 245/75/17's and we cant find any Bridgestone Deuler A/T Revos that are on my boss's Ecursion in that size.
What other tire would you suggest?
Has to be 245/75/17s, nothing else.
Boss is a lil picky.
I tried to talk him into gettin some Proxes S/T's. Hahahah That would look BAD!
Thanks Guys!

Tell your boss he's screwed because your not going to find **** in that size. You're gonna have to go to 265/70/17 if you want some selection. Bridgestone Revos are available in that size.

The tires on my 8000lb carpet cleaning vans are the Power King Load Range E's... sounds like those tires you can get away with Load Range D's since it doesnt sound QUITE as heavy as my vans. Look for power king tires they have lasted longer on my vans than the maxxis load e's and any load d's. Not sure if that have that odd size your looking for but something closer to what neil said is probably available. I get my tires at a little shop that a mexican runs in gainesville... he is getting me fantastic deals on these tires, if you can find someone like that he might be able to get you a wide selection of sizes and maybe be able to cut a deal with you... i bring my whole fleet to him to that would be one reason why i get the good deal that i get.. but look into those tires...
approx how heavy are those trucks with the trailer load do you think?

well our trailers weigh anywhere from 4000lb to 9000lb depends on what we have to take with us on trips.. and we usually pull it with out 05 F-350 cclb Dually and it has a 100gal aux fuel tank in the bed (which is in the shop right now) so what ever that big tank weighs + 4000-9000lbs.
