Are there 17" LT's for '02 Screw?
 
I tow a trailer with some sway on original P275/60R17's. Are there LT's available? Thanx

I have an 02 S-Cab Sport with the 17" rims and had the same size stock tires you have. I went with the BFG AT KO's LT285/70/17. Got some pics in my gallery but they were quite stuffed in the wheel wells with the stock 4X2 suspension.

Yes you can get LT tires, what kind of tread are you looking for? Highway, all-terrain, mud tires???

I replaced my BFG AT/KOs with bridgstone revos LT 265/70R 17s last fall. I have been verry happy with them so far.

Try discount tire direct, you should be able to find some there. I went with Nitto Terra Grappler A/T's and I love them. Much better than my Goodyear Wranglers

You won't find a LT tire in the stock size 275/60R17. Then closes size in an LT would be LT275/70R17 Goodyear AT/S, but I don't know if they will rub or not on a 2wd.

The 275/60R17 is about 30.0x11.00-17
The 275/70R17 is about 32.5x11.00-17

Thanx for the replies.. A lot of LT labeled tires are for off road use with aggressive tread designs. I am looking more for on road use only, towing stability because of the LT tire wall stiffness. I think I'll research the Goodyears a little more.. Thanx again...

If you are staying on road, get some Michelin's LTX M/S, they cost a little more, but you will get great tread life out of them.

Hmmmm, I would tend to want to fix the root of the problem and tune the trailer setup.

I tow a two axel 5500lbs far and fast with no trouble on the stock tires..

You should not have problems from the stock tires as they are load rated well above your rear axle ratings. Are you using a WD hitch w/ sway control?
