Default Wild Country Radial XTX 285-70/17??

Anybody run this and care to share their thoughts??
I bought some new Firestone8 plybut the gave my truck the "deadly wheel hop".
I'm thinking about going with the Wild Country XTX's they carry 65psi and should delete
my wheel hop. They are alos 8 ply but should be OK since they require the same 65psi.
Your thoughts are welcome and respected!!

If you are talking about a diesel go with a E rated tire. I have not run Wild Country in a long time. I had no luck with them at all. Could not balance and very poor wear.

If you tow much at all buy E rated tires as they will hold up much better then D tires. I know some D tires are said to hold as much weight as E tires but they also have a weaker sidewall compared to an E tire. I error on the safe side and only buy E tires.
