Here are mine :

They do come in size 235/75 r 15 , but not rated at 51 PSI max like mine, only 44 PSI.

The only problem is that on freeways that are grooved in the direction I am traveling, the car "wiggles", aka the tread tracks into the grooves like a phonograph needle and the car has a noticeable wiggle. I had a feeling this might happen, but no proof until after I bought the tires. Thank goodness my main commute only has this for maybe a mile or two. My wife's new GoodYear Eagle GT's do the same thing to a lesser extent.
The above is a minor annoyance (to me), but I think it would depend on what kind of highways you drive. I don't see grooves all the time. I would get these tires again.

Also, someone told me that you can have high-pressure rated valve stems installed when you get new tires. I think someone who worked at a tire store posted this. If I had known about that, I would have spefically requested it.
