Check out this tire at Tire Rack( Continental Vanco 225/70/15.)
Vanco 2(Highway Rib Summer)
Diam. is 27.4 load range D 2470 .They are wider but it worked for me so far with about 1200 miles on them.
Thanks, I did. The down side is they declare these to not use near freezing temperatures which in my case is a problem since we winter camp. Thanks for the lead though.
After reading "not use near freezing temperatures" I was very concerned (these LTs were looking like my ST fix)..
According to TireRack they carry 17 Highway Rib Summer Tires (but like all summer tires, are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice).. So.. where can they be sold? Even Hawaii has snow on The Big Island!
Tire experts.. what does the disclaimer mean in the real world (When Florida has a cold snap will the tires freeze and fall off of the trucks?)
On a happier note.. my warantee claim for belt separation was denied , the tires are too old. There is a three year warantee and it runs from date of manufacture, not retail sale. Maybe they will send me flowers in the morning..
