Recommended 16 inch LT tires for TT
I'm getting rid of our 15 inch Marathons on our TT and moving to 16in probably LT225/75R16 with new rims. I have people recommend 16 inch Michelin Defenders but those are well over $200 each. I see so...

I see someone used GR Commercial T/A with good results but someone else suggested asking for ideas. Please don't restart the LT vs ST fight.
You know the ST225/75R15 LRE provides more load capacity than the LT225/75R16 LRE by about 200# per tire. I don't know why you just don't pick a brand and go up to the LRE 15" tires that probably won't cause you to have to change wheels.
The ST225/75R15 designated size can also be found with a LRF which is a steel cased tire. However, it would need wheels that would support the 95 PSI required for full load capacity (3195#) from the LRF.
Calvin..... He asked everyone not to go there. His decision has been made. Just because you don't agree... It is not your money.
