I'm thinking I'll just go with the stock size 235-80's. I'm having trouble finding someone to install them now, the local Discount Tire said they could order and install but now say their warehouse no longer stocks them. Also said they won't install tires they didn't sell, I guess for liability reasons. I'm looking at truck tire shops in town now.

@Txfivver, for what it's worth, I got over 22,000 miles on my (Solitude 310GK) OEM "G"-rated Westlakes & OEM suspension/drum brakes without any issues from coast-to-coast over terrible highways. I'm sure a lot of folks on this forum would say I was "testing fate," but that was my experience regardless. I was mindful of the air pressures, lug nut torques, etc. & visually inspected them regularly for cuts, tears & separation. Good luck & safe travels! -Diego

I second that; no issues with my G rated Westlakes; 2017 Solitude with ~ 20k miles. Can't say my suspension survived unscathed, but not related to my Westlakes. Tread wear was NOT my issue, I was starting to see signs of dry rot. I literally just bought 4 Sailuns (235/85R16). I ended up ordering them on-line. I have spoken with a local tire shop that will install and balance for $50. Still have to bring it in to get done.

I replaced my Westlakes with Goodyear Endurance and it was a great move. The ride is noticeably better since I run them at 10 psi less now. $400 for peace of mind when driving around $80,000 worth of stuff was a no-brainer for me.
