Standard load tires?
I recently purchased my 2006 2WD F250 and noticed that the tires are 265-70-17 standared load tire (I'm thinking SUV tires) with a max load rating of 2535 @ 51psi. I weighed my truck and it weighed 6520 total, 3670 front axle and 2840 rear axle. I don't haul much but I will be towing a 29ft tow hauler with a stated tounge wight of 960 lbs. Do you guys think the tire will be ok for this use? I hate to buy new ones yet as these only have about 4000 miles on them.

Unfortunately sometimes this can happen with unknowledgable outfits that don't deal specifically in tires.
I have seen a few listing for trucks that require a specific load range with optional listings for the same truck that don't meet the load range requirements.
Although your tire "size" is standard equipment the load range isn't.
