Firestone Steeltex Radial R45 tires have a single max load rating of 2650lbs
at 80psi and are LT 225/75R16 M/S. Anyone have a recommendation for tires
and where to get them?
Sorry if a bit off topic, but thanks for any help.

I just got 6 Coopers of that size for my "89 Ford F350. I checked into
Michelins and am convinced that Coopers are just as good if not better.
However, the Goodyears that came off were OEM on the truck and still had
plenty of tread after 150K miles. The side walls were rotten though. For the
kind of hauling we do, the highest load rating you can get is the best in any
brand. The truck tires usually are very little trouble.
Now trailers....that's another story. I usually pop one or two every trip. No
matter how careful I am, I seem to always snag one on a curb or something.
Why don't they steel belt the side walls??
