anyone?

Anything is possible for short term but personally I wouldn't just because the rating is pretty low.

Re: 215 65 16 tires for 70 dually?
 

would somewhere in the 1650-1800#
rating be better?
i dont want a blowout.....
but the front tires are shot and
found a set of 6 215 65 16 for $260!

My opinion is just that.... But, 27" tire is pretty short for a dually/HD app. Is that the tallest you can go?

At best, that's likely a passenger car tire so the load range is the issue once the 2 tires in the rear start flexing (which they will). The front's would prob survive a normal life around town.

The concern would be extended trips under heat/pressure w/the extra loading. Load range tires for HD apps are about 3K each. At 1500#, that's a big reduction. I wouldn't go less than 30% difference so 2100# @ the minimum. The fronts are not so much the issue. The concern of tire flex in the dual positions under extended heat & loading is what would be on my mind.

Also, most reputable shops won't mount a non-load rated tire on a dually/HD wheel application.
