The Bridgestone R-238 I saw on their websites says they come in 17.5" and 19.5" sizes. IMO too much tire for a 5.2k 6 lug axle.
For more input on Michelin's recall on the BFG Commercial T/A and the same sister tire Uniroyal HD-H see safecar tire complaints website at odi.nhtsa.gov/owners.
Most complaints run about the same scenario and all about the same time frame (2012-2014).
JMO but Michelin should have included all 16"/18" tire sizes in their recall.' I ran several sets of the Commercial T/A on my equipment trailers prior to the time frame they started shedding treads. Ran two sets on the 11200 lb 5ers for 50k and 55k each with no issues on any of them.
It would be interesting to know what suddenly changed (materials or mfg processes) to make them faulty.
