best I saw was a 106s

I found a BFG T/A that had a 107s in the 235 size. If its lt, it wouldn't be 215/75R15 it would be 215/75LT15 LTs don't have R in the designation.

No, if it's an LT it will be LT215/75R15. LT's still have an R in it. R is for radial. Go out and look at the BFG's on your truck.

No offense, but how heavy duty of a tire do you think you need? These smaller size tires are never going to approach the load rating of the tires your truck. Their physical dimensions limit them. All the LT specs I have seen are saying roughly 2000 lbs load rating per tire and 50 psi max inflation pressure. I would say if those tires are not good enough for you, you don't have a heavy duty enough van.

I agree with what you said green 79... no offense taken brother, I just never had a light truck like this im used to hd stuff... and the crappy tires on it were a lower than stock rated tire anyway. I goofed up about the lt tire size format... my apologies! the new tires I got are the stock rating and go up to 44psi, but even at the stock 35psi they look so much better than the crap I replaced. I no longer have worries about tires now...

im just one to get more than I need just in case I need it. I always overbuild my own stuff... guess my ocd was showing...haha

thanks for the comments guys!
