I just measured my spare which isn't mounted on the rim yet. The tire is
9" wide and stands 35.5" tall. The side wall info is as follows:
R85-16LT
Approved rim: 16x8jj
4 ply nylon cord 6 P.R. load range C
Max Load 2610 lbs at 45 psi
I though they where bias-ply, but the 'R' in the R85-16LT says to me they
are radials. They sure get flat spots like a bias-ply...can anyone shed
some light on what the 'R' in the size means?
Anyhow, I've been very happy with the tire.
