Well, after reading your picky butt liked these tires,
![]() ![]() I can't stand the Coopers I bought several years ago off tire rack. The pic was a true 5 rib, P series but the LT series came with a block tread that, even though I am half deaf, drive me nuts from the road noise and it's only getting worse as they wear... ![]()

What size do you need Mitch?
The R265 5-Rib Load Range E posted is definitely the same tread pattern.

The size associated with the R265 is listed as 245/75/16. I need 265/70/17. Could be a misprint, but I chased this around the web for 1/2 hour this morning trying to find a 265.

It's what I prefer as a safety margin for pulling the trailers. Way over rated for a 1500 Silverado, but when I travel with the car trailer, I carry a LOT of "stuff" with for emergencies and such.

Anyone have a truck with the Allison trans from this period. After changing the fluid and both filters, I have a small leak. Didn't even have a drip before the change. Not leaking from either the pan or the external filter. The leak is EITHER from the shift seal OR the gasket/seal located under the electrical plug at the back of the trans.
Guessing neither of those is that difficult to fix.
