Look at the difference:
GY LT235/85R16 LRG at 110 PSI, max load 3750#
ANY ST235/85R16 LRG at 110 PSI, max load 4400#
7000# X 1.1 = 7700# / 2 = 3850#
Anyone working as a tire installer in the tire industry should (SHOULD) know the tire industry standards require replacement tires to provide, at the minimum, a load capacity equal to or greater than the OE tires provided.

Thanks, I forgot about what you brought up.
On another note, I don't often make purchases based upon political reasoning. What matters is getting what I pay for. I can't help it if American business sends their work offshore. There are many products we use that aren't even made here anymore. The idea of American made sounds good but doesn't guarantee anything.
