Can I run 305/45r22 tires?

I hate to start a thread like this, but can I safely run the Hankook Dynapro ATM 305/45r22. I looked them up and they have a rating of 2910lbs, that's a total of 11640lbs. I found them on Craigslist and the person only knows the brand, size and came off a F250 crew cab. Thanks fellas.

Yes, I run them on my stock F-150. they only measure 32.8" or so.

As for weight ratings I run C rated 275/55R20's on my Excursion and have for years, I would overload the axle before I overloaded the tires.

I would stay away from C rated if you have a diesel. I have been threw 3 Cs in less then 3 years. Got them replaced under warranty with E's. They just couldn't hold the weight and got shredded quick. Yes I had an alignment and they were balanced.

What brand? I installed a set of the exact same cooper zeon ltz's on my old excursion in 2010. Those tires are still on the truck and they have had about 50k miles put on them w/no issues.

I'm just a little concerned that the tires are 45s, being that is a little bit of rubber between the road and the rim. It's a hell of a deal and will allow me to save up for new tires. The specs for the tires gives me about 2000lbs to play with after the gross weight of the X.

I'm just looking for something to get me by for a couple of months and yes, I have a diesel.

They were goodyear wranglers. They wore out quick and started developing leaks. Took them to a different tire shop for the warranty and they updgraded to the Es for free and said the Cs never should have been installed.
