Just looking through Tire Rack for LRR tires. If you search for LRR truck tires many come up (even some in your size), but when you start clicking on the specs and sizes, you find that the tire has LRR sizes, just not YOUR SIZE. I could only find one tire in my size, or anything close enough to not throw off the speedo by more than 5%.

General Grabber HTS. 30 Lbs, 44 psi max pressure, and interestingly it says they have a 9" section width. (Maybe CapriRacer is on to something.) The have fairly good weather ratings. Not quite as good as my other choices, but if the LRR is that big a benefit, then this becomes my best option.

The other two choices I am considering are........

Firestone Destination A/T 205/75/15 24 Lbs, 44 psi max pressure, 6.3" section width.

Kumho Crugen HT 51 225/70/15 27 Lbs, 51 psi max pressure, 7.1" section width.

Both of the other choices have excellent ratings in weather and comfort and tread wear. The Grabbers don't rank quite as high but aren't down very far.

If you had to make the choice.........which would you go with?


Thanks
