Nitto NT05, UTGQ = 200 (although some sizes have a UTQG of 140)
Falken RT615\k UTGQ = 200
Toyo Proxies R1R, UTGQ = 200
KU36, UTGQ = 180

Lots of other options with a similar rating up to size 255\40-17, but these are the only ones Ive found that go up to 275.

I know we probably don't want to make it too complicated but possibly going off the UTGQ rating should be considered. Just say tyre must have a UTGQ of 180 or greater? That would really open up the class to nearly anyone less than R-Spec

these look like good options, although the NT05 doesn't come in a 245x17, and I think the 275 Toyo is not available in Australia, so shipping/currency is something to consider.

I think if something akin to the above four options were presented it gives people a good choice and I don't think anyone could argue that one would be any more advantageous than the other.
