I just put Dunlop Radial Rover RV 30 X 9.50LT's on my stock 6 inch rims,
and really like them. The OEM Mich P 235 75R 15 were down to the tread
wear indicators (just 30K miles,) and sqwalled for sometime around corners.
The Dunlops don't, they just grip the road. I bought them at Sears for
about $79 each.
