Load E tire sizes

I'm needing to replace my tires on the towrig. I haven't found alot of variety of sizes for load Es.

If your running Es, please post up tire size, brand and cost estimate per tire.

Also I've got a dually so they have to fit the rear with out rubbing together.

Guess i should have mentioned that I'm not looking for a street tire. I'm looking for something in an AT or MT.

Check out pro comp. the ads usually just list the c and d tires, but they do offer a few sizes in E. just call them up, and they'll tell you whats available.

It depends what the first # is. the first number is the tread width in mm. The second number is the aspect ratio (sidewall height) in percentage of the tread width. ex. a 200/75/xx would be 200 mm tread width and sidewall height would be 75% of tread width, or 150mm in this example. Dually's usually have a smallish number for tread width, and therefore need a larger percentage of that width to make a decent sidewall height.

I hope this didn't confuse you.
