I am sure the OP would appreciate the response, but this post is 4 years old and the OP hasn't been on here since. As a visitor I am not sure you can see the age of the topics so you probably would not have known. It's technical problem with the site and the moderators haven't done anything to fix it.

way2roll,
We moderators do not have a way of fixing the issue talked about, ie stopping the ability to pull up a post from x months/years ago! If we are going to blame someone, blame the upper management folks, and or the designer of this platform for allowing it....or upper folks have not turned off that ability.
With this said. I've really only had issues with one brand of 19.5 tires on my Navistar since I bought it in 93 or there about. That was MIchelins XRV in an 8r19.5. hwy tire, soft is warm IC! On the other hand, I have some predecessors to the XDR2 that the OP talks about on the rear. THey've been great tires. 60+K miles, got them in 03, still have a few miles left in them! then again, I don't drive this thing much, so I am not driving 60+ MPH across hot asphalt in the AZ to Texas deserts at 100+F. I would suspect I would have issues with them by now! I've switched to 225-70-19.5 tires. I'm positive my suspension is heavier than the 450 mentioned at 24K total front and rear.

I hear ya Marty, but usually the mods are missing on these forums and I feel like they would have conduit to get some of these changes made. I mean, the mods asked for feedback months ago and nothing ever happened. No offense to you, just an easy fix. If a topic is more than 2 years old, lock it.

Unfortunately, notuch is going on here. To lock these, weods, who's left per say. Need people above to program this into the system. Ie no reviving post over 12 months like it was. My literal only option is to delete the offending post(s). I have not had the beef to delete anything since the new format. I've seen the buttons to do so. It's not as simple as the older format.
I check in every few days now. Take care of the one post that shows up. I'm close to leaving per say.

Thanks! That's not the main reason I went this route as I liked the look of the stock Alcoas just fine but it is a nice side benefit!

I looked at that tire and don't see how it addresses any of the issues I had.
Still a stiff poor riding 19.5" tire
Still has poor traction.
Still can't air them down
Still a commercial truck tire that won't balance worth a ****
Still doesn't offer any significant advantages in load capacity or tread life for all the negatives.
Still more expensive
Still has an inferior speed rating
So what exactly does it address again?
I'll let Big Truck Big RV explain...

If you actually watch that video it's obvious he and I use our trucks very differently and have different expectaions about what they should be capable of.
That being said, he basically reinforces everything I said about 19.5" tires and their poor traction and ride characteristics having gone through stock HSR's, Toyo's and Firestones before finally giving up on decent traction tires and settling for the HD3's
