16.5 tire options?

When I bought new 16.5" tires for my D-300 dually last year, I checked out all the usual sources. My truck has its original 16.5" Budd steel wheels, powder-coated, baby; they're lookin' good, and I'm keeping it stock, thank you very much!

The only truck tire I could find was the Firestone TransForce. They weren't terribly expensive. You can buy them from WalMart, but beware: often WalMart can't install 16.5" tires, so you have to go to a tire shop to get them installed, and you lose the benefit of WalMart's free installation. You're probably better off buying them from a tire store in the first place. The only other 16.5" tires that I could find at the time were bias-ply, for agricultural equipment. Now some of the previous posts in this thread are telling me about highway tires that I didn't know were available. Thank you kindly.

Did you know that when your old dually tire throws its tread, it will destroy your fiberglass fender extensions? And that those are NLA for older Dodge duallys, so you have to fix your old one? I guess you should replace the tires when you first start to have doubts about them.
