I had just purchased the Firestone 16.5" D load and ran them at 65 psi.
Selling these to my uncle with his '73 PD. They have the SST and wheel
balancers so he's getting the whole set and should dress up the orange bomb.
Since I have my Alcoas on order I'm in the market for 16 " instead. Same
deal I suppose E range would be the better (safer) deal. What brand seem to
best that are the E load range?

THESE TIRES ARE "RAG WALL"

According to my research so far --for 8.75 16.5R E/Range tires

The TRUE "ALL STEEL" (at least 1 steel side wall belt) are:
BRIDGESTONE R260
MICHELIM XPS-RIB
GOODYEAR G159

The following Tires are "rag wall" Steel tread BUT Poly sides

BRIDGESTONE R273
FIRESTONE R4S
DUNLAP Radial/Rover
