Every tire fitment site says LT tires will not fit on my 1500......

[map246]

I am probably going to get roasted for this, because this is a pretty dumb question.

I am buying a Travel Trailer that is pushing the limits on what my 1500 is rated for. The GVWR on the TT is 8300. I have a 3.21 rear end. Stock tires are 275/55R20. I want to put 10ply LT tires on it to help with the added stress of the big TT. I added Lift Pro helper bags to the springs to help with squat.

Every tire site I go to "tells me" that I the same size LT tires "wont fit".

Am I missing something? Or are these sites just stupid because that is not what comes stock on my truck?

I'd bet this because there is no reason for them not to fit. Look at 3 peak rated Discoverer Stronghold AT. I believe that's what my father is running and really likes.

I think some sites just go based on the stock size tire if you are entering your vehicle info. I feel like i did see some of what you are describbing a few years back when i upgraded my tires
I am runing LT275/60/20 but i do have a level

I'm looking at these Gladiator XComp AT LT. They look very similar to these Coopers you're talking about.

That have good reviews from what I've seen, other than people on forums bitching that they're China crap.

I'm running 265/60R20 Load Range E with level.
I tow a TT at about 6ooo lbs. I'm not sure I'd go with a E rated tire next go round.
I lost a couple mpg, and unless they are inflated higher than i like, there's a good amount of sidewall flex.

The sites are being stupid…tour stock tire size in an LT tire will absolutely fit without issue. FWIW I just put on Bridgestone Dueler AT ascent tires and im pretty impressed with them.

On my 21, Had to level front, but running 285/60r20 10 ply tires on Weld wheels. Had slight rub, but heat gun and a couple zip ties fixed it.

10 ply is a bias tire term, but I thing on radials, it is an "E" rated tire.
A 10-ply tire rating is a traditional way to indicate a tire's strength and load-carrying capacity, particularly in older bias-ply tires. It historically referred to the number of fabric layers used in the tire's construction. Today, while modern tires use different materials and construction (radial tires), the "10-ply" designation is often used to describe tires with a Load Range E, which is equivalent in strength to the older 10-ply tires. These tires are commonly used on trucks, SUVs, and trailers for heavy-duty applications

My wheel and tire combo I love the look. But is sooooooo heavy. Think I got the heaviest wheels and tires on mine. I kinda want a winter set, would probably get 3 mpg better mileage.
