my thing is i find alot of guys with those on dulleys but not many at all with them on swr trucks.. i haul lots of hay with my truck 24 bales on my trailer at a time and im just worried about the stockers.. or should i just stick with 16 and upgrade the tires.. hard choice to make.

If you want to upgrade your 16's......Goodyear used to make the G159's in a 235/85-16 and it was a 14 ply. I used to run them on one of my cattle trailers. I recently heard they don't make the G159's anymore but the still offer the 14ply in a 16" tire.....justed can't remember what it is. Go to your GY dealer and ask.

the goodyear g124 traction tire is avalable in the 235/85/16... but i can't remember offhand what the ply rating is...

Walkerkd, ALCOA makes a 22.5 inch wheel for SRW, don't know if that is too tall for ya or not. They look nice, but they are on a lifted truck.

LA DMAX :cool:

I am also interested in the larger tire capacity.You might check out www.ricksontruck.com they have a direct bolt on wheel steel or alluminum,there a bit expensive but you may like them
