Problem now with the Commercial TA, is that BFG only list a 215 and 265 size. The 225, 235 and 245 are gone from their web site! The twin Uniroyal Laredo HD/H still list all the sizes. Chris

Hmmm.....just looked at BFG website and what you say is true.

BFG is going with a BFG Commercial T/A AS 2 tire per a email I received from them dated 8-5-'14. I saw the "2" part behind the T/A and thought it a typo. The email stated in part;

"If the requested tire meets or exceeds the load capacity for your trailer it would be a good fitment and fully warranted.

The BFG Commercial T/A 2 LT235/85 R16/E tires carry 3042 lbs at a max of 80 psi per tire.

Just guessing here but it looks like BFG changed their ETEC system in the new 2 tire. Dang I didn't see my favorite LT215/85-16 E in the new line up.

Goodyear did much the same with the Wrangler LT HT in the early '00 era and the G614 in the late '00 era. Ditto with the Firestone Transport HT in the late '90s. They kept the line up name but improved the tire.
