335/80R20 Michelin XZE with 7500kg/axle load capacity

[charlieaarons]

With the 19500 lb load capacity of the stretch F550 the rear axle tire load capacity of single rear tires has been somewhat problematic.
Vrakking in the Netherlands has some 335/80R20 XZE (new) with 7500kg/axle load capacity, more than enough. More of a road biased tread than the MPT81s.

Very nice! XZE tires can be useful for Earthroamer:)

Only problem is, where will you find 80" wheels? :sombrero:

I found this tire (http://www.michelintruck.com/michelintruck/tires-retreads/tireInfo.do?tread=XTY2)
XTY 2 had enough payload I guess it'll be a suitable tire for ER
