Well, the general consensus is Michelins. One thing I don't understand
though is the sizes. My truck rides on tires from the factory and they are
LT265/75 R16 and most say to use 235/85 sizes. Why is that? 235 is narrower
and with more siewall (more rolling resistance, less economy). I surfed the
Bridgestone/Firestone site and the tires originally installed do not seen to
be available any more and the 265 size is hard tolocate. My 265's were also
load range E and max pressure of 75 psig so with a wider tire could carry
more. Right  now, one is flat so not carrying anything.   Are anyof the
Michelins 265s? I'll look...

mayf and thanks for the help, ya'll
