Why?
To the both of you: You have the LT right?
Also, Do you think that the LT is a must or would I be fine with the P rated?
I towed this summer a few times up to 9-9,600 pounds and did not notice the General having prob. with the weight. I had about 40-42 pounds of air in them at that time.
Thanks,
Josh

On edit: My tires have roughly 35000 miles on them. I checked them all before I put then on this fall and they all had 7-8/32's of tread left.

[B]Deal or no deal?[/B]
Ok here's the deal
I can get the tire replaced for free and only have to pay 17.00 bucks for a new cert.
OR
I can get 4 Good Year Wranglers AT/S in P265/70/17 for 457.00.....
That is with 150 dollars of trade in on three of the Generals, and the fourth tire of the AT/S would be free.....because of the screw in the General.
The 457.00 includes mount, balance, and new 4 certs.
What do ya think?
I know they are only P but.....they would be new tires....
I tried to get them at 400 even but they would not go any lower.
BTW, it is snowing here now maybe 2" on the ground so far and I tried to make it back home in 2hi....ahahahha......went around a corner at about 5-10mph with a very light foot and the back end spun around, applied the brakes but I just slid into a snow bank. I only had one front tire stuck in it about a foot if that and I could not get out in ...back tires just spun.....had to put her in 4hi to back out.
Is this my sign ?

yes, mine are the LT Wrangler AT/S
in a perfect world I would only run LT tires on a truck...but you go where the wallet leads you
the P rated will do the job just fine, not ideally though. they'll likely wear out faster than a LT, and towing large/heavy loads might get interesting, but they'll get you down the road safely
and safety is the #1 in my book. I say yes...especially for price. I can't find tires for under $1,000 myself

Here's the latest scoop...
I got four (4) Wrangler AT/S in LT265-70-17 going on tomorrow for $442.01
That's,
Mount
Lifetime bal. + rotation
4 certs for free replacement.
Will post up some pics after the install

I think I did, if I can say so myself 
And really if you take the certs out at 22 bucks a piece the price for the tires and everything else is just over $350.00

I think I need a huge magnet to hang from my front bumper to pick them up!!
Although that would not work for everything.
Yes the LT's are more ($158.00 vs $133.00 for the P).....makes the deal even better. I was also able to get them to give me more for the generals on trade in.

wish I could get tires for even $200 a pop...priced 'em out last night at $380/tire for 18" and $410/tire for 20" rims
Another good reason I am glad to have 17's......although I think 18's are a perfect size for these trucks.
And I think that I made the right choice with the LT's.
