If your tires had a load rating of G and were blowing out, you may be better served by using tires with a higher load rating. We carry two tires with a load rating of H, the Provider # TTWP15175 and Westlake # LHWL097; each of these are 215/75R17.5 radial tires that fit 17-1/2" wheels with a section width of 8.3" and outer diameter (when inflated) of 30.2". With dual tires, their individual loads are a maximum of 4,540 lbs at 123 psi.

I would recommend the Westlake # LHWL097 because they come with a 5-year warranty and 24/7 flat tire service anywhere in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico. Please keep in mind that blowouts will occur with a load that is too heavy, or excessive speed no matter which tire you are using.

I've added links to video reviews of these tires for you to take a look at.
