looks like they are out of stock on the 235 size.
if you select another size, it will come up with a price.

It comes up with a price, but when I type 4 and click add to cart it says there stock on hand is either 1 or zero. Anybody else getting this?

Also I need an answer on the max size I can go with on stock wheels and with no lift. Would like to order these tonight or in the morning.

Thanks for all your guys' help thus far, very informative.

i tried the 37X12.5 X16.5, entered 5 for quantity, and it went rite to checkout.
so i would say the size you are looking for is out of stock.

I tried all of the tires in 245 255 265 and 285 and all of them were out of stock. Yet I found them on ebay from these same people, but they were a bit more expensive.

So just noticed they have a backorder list running. Does anybody know where I can get some other decent M/T tires for cheap? Was hoping to spend around 600$ for a set of four, anybody have a link for me?

Check with your Local Tire dealers. Alot of times they have good deals on "Blems" they might have a mis cast letter or something. We have tons of places around here that are cash and carry with good prices.

Alright thanks for your help guys. The tires are only on 2 week backorder, so I'm going to go ahead and order them. Before I do though I just want to confirm, will 265/75R16's fit my truck with stock wheels and no lift? Thanks!

Yup will fit your truck with no lift at all.

You want D rated tires b/c of the F250s weight.

Awesome thanks! Also, my truck came factory with E rated tires, so that is what I was going to go with. (At least that's what has been on it for the past 15+ years) Any reason to go with D over E?

Unless your carrying heavy loads or towing all the time the D just offers a less stiff ride.

D tires have an 8 ply sidewall and are still rated pretty high, E tires have a 10 ply sidewall and are generally stiffer and used for heavy loads. I run Ds on my F250HD with no complaints.
