Default 17" wheels?

Just wondering if anyone is running 17" wheels with e-rated tires?

Its getting hard to find 16" on the used market.

Both 16" & 17" tires are still available new as load range E. I purchase a set of 16" load range E tires for my truck online about 6 months ago for my truck, as the sidewalls had developed dry rot after about 11 years. The tread of the old tires was still perfect.

Where I live, we have used tire distributors around. Think there are three of 'em just in my small town. You might have to drive further to find one though..... Call around, see if anyone has anything useful for ya. Even wrecking yards may have some decent tires layin' about.
