Google is your friend on this one as there are several good pictorials from different websites.

If tire diameter is a fitment problem for you the Maxxis LT Commercial truck tire may be a choice you’re overlooking. They should be orderable at any retailer that provides the trailer tires.
Here is the reference.

Thanks to all who have given their thoughts on new tires. I am due for a new set on my fiver. General RV doesn't sell tires (I find that strange, but oh well) and they say they'll send me to Discount Tire, etc. After researching the Maxxis tires I see that they're only sold by Discount Tire in the Michigan area.
I called my local store and was told they don't carry Maxxis in stock and that I should be comfortable with Carlisle tires. I set up my appointment and then started researching Carlisle. It was darn near impossible to find anything but negative feedback for the tires. Long story short...I called and they ordered the Maxxis for me, at only slightly higher prices than the Carlisle. I think I made the right choice!

Did the negative posts on Carlisle mention the operator hitting any curbs, or excessive speeding, or running below maximum pressure?
Just asking?
Just today I saw a truck pulling a 28 foot travel trailer run over a curb with both tires on one side at a McDonalds. If these tires blow tomorrow, do you think when he posts on here he is going to mention that?
Just asking?

Well there are 5 new 16" wheels with LT tires mounted sitting in the back of my pickup. I sent my wife to town to pick them up and just need to bolt them on tommorow. I will feel a lot more confident on our trip now. Thanks again for all the information.

Actually many mentioned just the opposite...how they weren't running below max, etc. Of course I'm sure everyone stretches their own truth at times.
The sheer number of negative comments is what got me; they ran at least 20/1.
