Michelin has a tire called Symmetry in 225/70R16 that has a 107T rating. I've been looking back and forth at this one for a while this afternoon, as well as looking at others too. The Michelin site says the tire is intended for large passenger cars like Ford Crown Victoria. Seems strange to me that this "car" tire has higher weight rating than the tires they show in this size for light trucks.
The G26 Cargo sounds great except for the height. To use that one I'll need new wheels anyway, so just trying to research 16" sizes too as the 15" sizes seem to be dwindling. The G26 in 225/70R15 may be the best (especially if the 0.9" lower height won't make me re-do the Equalizer setup). Great specs on this tire.
I had found the Perelli also but I couldn't find any reviews on it.
I just checked and there are some 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern wheels available in the 16x6 & 16x7 sizes, but I'll need to measure for backspacing too. Wow, this isn't easy.... :)
I also did check on the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A in the LT225/70R16 size but that load range C tire is only rated as 102R, 1874 lbs per tire.
Many thanks for all the input and please hang in there with me until we get something figured out...
