So I ran into a issue today I have been running 235 65 16 light truck tires on the front of my 88 chevy crew cab dually that is on air ride and they have done fine the last couple of years have not had any issues but then I did the cummins swap and now both front I respect have separated in the tread and I can not find any similar sized tires that are a heavy ply rating for the weight does anyone have any ideas http://s1152.photobucket.com/user/4.../2016-06/20160615_184745_zps5rhmdvjj.jpg.html
 
Hankook is showing a 10 ply sidewall load E in that size.

There are a lot of tires in that size, but they're all standard load rating. You definitely need at least a D if not E rated tire w/ all that weight on them.

Hankook is showing a 10 ply sidewall in that size w/ a 3000 lb a load range (Load Index 119). You might need to go up to a little bigger tire that can handle the weight if you can't find some of these dynapro hts

Ok I will start looking into those I can't go any bigger on the tire size or they will rub when the truck is lowered and a lot of things were saying that I would have to go up in tire size to get the right rating on a low profile tire but thank you very much
