Looking for more information, I found there are a few 8.00/16.5 tires out there, and a few 8.75/16.5 tires as well, that are NOT Radials. They are the old "Bias Ply" design. You want to save some $ but please don't cut that low. Bias doesn't track as well as radial, they don't last nearly as long, and perhaps the worst: They develop Flat Spots. We had a Dodge van that came with 800 bias tiers. For the first mile every day on my way to work, it felt like the wheels were square. Try to push it out of the garage by hand, it wouldn't budge. Went to 875 radials. They drove smoothly, and I could give it one handed push in the garage and then go chase it down the driveway.
