and ended up going with Greenball Towmasters. I found them at Sams Club in stock (on line order only) for $55 each, with free shipping! They are only 6-ply C rating, but it's pretty hard to find anything D rated, 8-ply or better right now, or anything other than Carlisles or Goodyear (I have a friend who works for Goodyear on the drag racing & off-road side of things and he said don't buy them). I did find a business on e-bay who had Loadstar D rated 8 ply tires, 2 for $167 with free shipping, but when I went to their on line store, they only had 6-ply C rated tires Not sure if it was a bait and switch, but I didn't want to find out the hard way, ending up with having to ship them back for a costly refund.
