REPLACEMENT TIRES
Currently I am running Firestone TransForce 8.75R16.5LT Radial tires mounted on regular press steel rims (not split rims) that I want to stay with on my 1971 F250. They have been great tires & worked well and have tons of tread left on them but have a lot of side wall cracking from age so I am going to put 4 new tire on the rig. Like I said they are nice tires, but a bit high dollar for a truck that sees 5,000 miles a year so I am looking at some others that are a little more friendly on price.
Has anyone ran "Milestar SteelPro or Deestone" tires? They both have the look of a bias tire that I like and they are both radials and come in the 8.75R16.5 10ply size. They look like they would meet my light duty needs, she's just a cruiser to get me around town. Thanks

Question for the few out there that are still running 16.5 tires. What type & brand are you using? I currently am running Firestone TransForce 8.75R16.5 LT. Would like to fined a lower price radial for my truck that gets less than 5000 miles per year.
