My biggest problem with those tires is going to be finding a 5th one for the spare. I bought them used with very low mileage from someone who was scrapping a trailer. The brand is Westlake and the tires are the 928 series. I called a local dealer who deals with Westlake, and when he checked the distributor there were none to be had. Guess I'll have to wait for another seac can load to make it to these shores.
The tires are a steal otherwise. Form the dealer they are just $300 a tire, which includes the flap. I believe they are a 15 ply rating, so could almost be considered a runflat with the light load on this truck. They just need a bead spacer.
Edited to add: I got a hold of the importer, who told me that KAL tire in my area should have access to some of the remaining inventory of this tire, but stocks were very low. Sure enough, a week after calling my 5th tire is here. Good news is it comes complete with inner tube and reinforced flap. Bad news is it was a little more expensive than I thought, at $550 with taxes and environmental fees all in. But a nice clean and brand new spare mounted on the roof will help set the tone for this truck.
