17.5 inch tires.......

[hammersley]

I was looking at the Toyo site and ran across these in a 17. 5" tire... . Now I know about 16. 5" but Not this size... ... how long have these been around?

I had never heard of this size... .

A very heavy duty tire. Comparable to the 19. 5 and just as hard to change. Used a lot on trailer applications.

Saw this on the Rickson site a while ago:

They're quite common on trailers. Like the shorter version of the 19. 5 with slightly less weight capacity. Very good choice for heavy trailers behind pickups.

Buddy of mine just put a set of 17. 5 Alcoas on his trailer this past week, hopefully get a chance , I'm going to check them out this weekend! But the darn Michelins were like $435 a tire !!!
