275/80R20 XZLs for super single on 1 ton pickups

[charlieaarons]

This might be a nice tire for 1 ton but not F450/550s (due to load capacity = only 4000 lb) to replace 9.00R16/255/100R16 sizes which aren't usable due to larger disk brakes on newer pickups.
I.e. 1 tons with Lance campers etc.
37" diameter.

Charley,
Good to read you again.
The above won't help me, and probably only a Ford one ton because of fender clearancing (unless you have a mongo lift), but I have a local supplier that has some interesting and inexpensive alternatives to new big$rubber: Military surplus:
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/ptd/4125225017.html
My objective was to put on some 34" (actual diameter) ex-hummer tires and wheels (7" backspacing) on my '01 Dodge, which does have disc brakes all around AND 16" wheels with 33's. I like the 16's for airing down. With a change from 3.55 to 4.10 gears, and some more fender clearancing up front the final drive gearing comes out to about the same as i have now. With a truck camper I don't want the truck any higher than it is now, so that means fender clearancing to keep the center of gravity as low as possible.

Make sure they hold air. A lot of those used military tires are flats.

Are these any cheaper after shipping and import than what they sell for at expedition west?

I also noticed they had a 19.5 inch mud terrain looking tire.
