    285/70/17 Firestone Destination A/t

    Speed Rating "T"
    Treadwear 460
    Traction "A"
    Temperatue "B"

    I'm no genius on tires so this is why I'm asking before I order them. I'm mostly concerned with the load range and speed rating. My stock tires have a load range of 110 so I would assume I am ok but I'm not one to rely on assuming.
