They were Toyo 14-ply 17.5 J-rated. I just replaced those tires last summer (2021) not because of tread, but because of weather cracking on the side walls. They were 125psi tires... I ran them at 115psi. They had a minimum of 90 to 100,000 miles on them. Have a great day!
I remember. I was transporting back then and stopped into Cabelas for a battery box if I remember correctly. Or that may have been the excuse I used, not that I needed an excuse.

I decided not to go to the 17.5” like you have, but I did upgrade the wheels and went to a 236/85R16 instead of the 245 /80R 16 that came on it. Just a slightly taller tire, but at the time was the only way I could get an LRG
