Tires: old tire size to new, lrd, tire size


Question
I have a Truck with 7.50 x 16 Tires with load rating's of D and I would like to go to a newer tire of this size in a D or E load rating.  What would be the appropriate cross over size for these specs.    Thanks,  R.C.  

Answer
R.C.,

Unfortunately, the sizing change also causes some other problems.  But the closet fit is LT235/85R16 with +10 psi change in pressure.

The diameters are close, but be aware that the LT235/85R16 will not fit on a 5.5" rum where the 7.50-16 LRD will.
