Okay. I am new and will be picking up a 1997 10' CO Alaskan in a few weeks. I drive a 99 Dodge 3/4 ton Diesel. I have firestone airbags on the back, as well as a Helwig rear sway bar. I also have new Rancho 5000 shocks all the way around. I also have the 2 inch leveling kit n my truck. I have Level 8 tracker wheels that are rated at 3650 lbs if I remember correctly. Sounds good so far?

My question is the tires. I have Hankook Dyna Pro 315/75/R16 tires. With the above stated modifications, are these tires okay? The camper wieghts 1950 Dry. Do I need to buy E rated tires?

Are you sure the Hankooks aren't E rated? I think they are 10 ply aren't they?

I concur. I have a 2008 Dodge CTD with an Alaskan. I really like my 295/70/17 Toyos.

Yea, they say E rated on the tire. For some reason the Spec sheet I got from the website had them as D rated, but with the same load capacity of 3860 at 65 PSI

I think they should work fine. Ideally, when they are worn out I would like to go with a tire that has a skinnier profile and is taller...
