Thanks for the info, that's good news.Now I can't wait to see the weight... I hope they're less than the D-Load 275/60-20's I'm running now. Then it will be a done deal....

OMG, I was just on BFG's site and look!!
Part: 58424
LT315/70R17/C 113 S
It's listed as OE: Ford, it's a NON-E rated big tire! Must be the 2017 Raptor size! That's PERFECT! 34.5, fits easily without more than a level, better than passanger sidewall, but not rock hard E-Load, and lighter weight! EPIC!
no pricing on their site though, hope its CHEAPPPPPPPP

Just for arguments sake though, how much difference is there in a P metric tire and an LT C rated tire? The factory Goodyears actually had a higher load rating than these.
Truck looks awesome! Do you have any straight on shots? I've been wanting mirrors like that, but wonder if they'll look to wide with the Raptor wheels.

Not the best pic, but you get the idea. They are big, but I'm quite happy with them and I can see EVERYTHING!

I am also wondering the same thing as jp360cj as far as the weight of the LT C tire vs. the P-metric, and also the load rating. Usually once every month or two I am hauling scrap with my truck and am usually at or near max capacity, so load rating is important. I don't drive very far loaded down like that so I don't feel the need for a E-rated tire because I am not overloading the P's. But if the weight rating is lower on these than my P-metric 20's it's a no-deal for me.

Unfortunately, No. When I am curious about the weight on tires I usually go to tirerack but they don't have them listed yet. I too was wondering about the weight comparably speaking.

Yeah, even the D-Load I have is overkill. They're 3,000 lbs each at 65PSI. I will be nice to run the tire at 45 PSI and get a better ride as well. My current 275/60-20's are 54.5 lbs, so I'm hoping for less... <fingers crossed>
