Those of you that run the 28x4.5x17 M&H front skinny tire.
by any chance,did you check how much they weight each?

The reason I'm asking,I would prefer to run a radial vs a bias because I run a DR in the back.

I think I found a front Radial tire that is between 28"-29" that would work on a 17"x5" wheel, Speed rating H. The weight of the tire is 26lbs.And is affordable.
One of our tire warehouses has a few sets,I think I'm gonna asked them to send me 2 so that I can take a close look at them.

I only run the 17" Welds in the back for now because I was waiting for a Front radial. Kinda tired of running the stock 20" in the front.I was surfing the web for tire options and came across it.

It's the Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400. Size 215/70/17
#142469
It say's approved rim is 6.5-7.5. But I think it should be 5.5-7.5
The reason is, I also found a tire size that is 215/65/17 and the approved rim size is 6 to 7.5 (The Bridgestone Ecopia EP422)

I know that the 70 series is a little taller and narrower than the 65 series.

The 215/70/17 mesure 28.9 and the 215/65/17 mesure 28.5

I think either these tires will work,will also help weight transfer due to the height of the tire compare to the 26" skinny radial that is available.

What do you think ?
