Okay, this is dumb...

There are a *ton* of truck tires on TireRack. Virtually none of them have decent load ratings (dumb ass SUV owners that don't actually use their trucks for truck stuff! ). So, out of the metric shit load of tires that should fit, I've narrowed it down to only 3 that are the proper 265/75/16 size (I can't run the narrower 235/85/16 tires due to the 8" wide wheels I've got), with the necessary load rating for towing, that don't have total crap reviews:

Expensive ass Michelin LTX

Crash and burn me Firestone Transforce HT

Not so well reviewed Yoko Geolander H/T-S G053

I think I'm either looking at about $750 for the Michelins (not that I've ever been disappointed w/ a set of Michelins after the sticker shock wore off), or shopping somewhere other than TireRack.

Anyone know if there's a Uniroyal or BFG re-branded version of the LTX?
