He hasn't got back to me yet, but it's not something I can offer to the public. I'm already going through a friend of a friend...lol

As for the Load E tires on your truck. No worries. Not 1 1500series truck out there can handle the capacity of a Load E tire. The downfall is a stiffer ride which I notice a little. It' not bad at all and the tires aren't noisy one bit.
Putting a Load E tire on a truck that came with "4 ply"(of similar) from the factory will definitely help against flat tires and will handle anything you haul. Having a tire with a greater capacity than the truck is nothing but a good thing other than any added expense for the extra plies, but in this case, there isn't. Generally a Load E tire is on the Load rating scale of 124/125 area. These tires are 119 and rated for 3300lbs each. Most Load E are at 3600lbs.
Just so you know the 4/6/8/10 ply and Load C/D/E...etc is all old Bias measuremnts and are graded based on those in similar functions.

Thanks Dog. I was just curious of the price. My tires are rated 2205 lbs and the LTZ's for 17's are rated at 3195. When I find out where I can get them, I will. Thread jack over.

Cyclone, I would definitely get the nitto's or the LTZ's. No goodyears.
