17" off road tyres

Flip - there are soooo many posts on this I am more confused than when I started reading.

Everyone seems to agree that 245/70/17 Cooper STT's fit without rubbing. However my first few tyre sites seemed to come up with results for either no load rating or too low a load rating.

These on the other hand look perfect http://www.tyrespec.co.uk/products/?ref=2831

Can peeps confirm if I am looking at the right tyre size and rating please ??

Thanks in advance "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Cool, does £115 in VAT sound about right ? "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

AFAIK Cooper are the only offroad manufacturer for 17inch rims.
As for the decision between ST's and STT's depends on what type of offroading your going to be doing i guess......
