[Larry]

Michael,
Yes, those were the ones I was looking at and then moved on, as they were only
available for the 9" wheels... Bought the 12R22.5 LR H...

Not sure about the BF Goodrich 315's, the ones you where looking at

my have been load range L tires. The Firestone FS400 load range L

are also not supported on 8.25", only 9". But the load range J can

be mounted on 8.25" or 9", not sure why, just that both Michelin and

Firestone say that the load range J tires can. Go figure....

BFG's, did it say that the 315's would be OK on 8.5" rims, they

specifically said 9" rims for the 315's, so I did not even give them

a second thought... Which I find unusual as BFG's are made by

Michelin... I think the BFG's are just as good as the Michelin's as

they are made in the same plants... And at $132.00 less on each

tire, I think it is worthwhile.. .
