Deestone D506 7/16 116/114L Tire

I bought these tires for my '71 Ford F100 4x4. There are basically no radials available any more to fit my truck. But even if I weren't "stuck" with these tires I would be very happy with them. They fit well on my 5x16 rims and are close enough to the dimensions of the original 6.50-16s. They handle and ride just as well as the old 7.00R16 radials used to (when you could get them). They're unstoppable in snow and dirt and much better than I thought they would be on hardpacked snow and ice. I chose this tread because it seemed to have better siping than some of the other (very few) choices, and that decision seems to have paid off. They are incredibly thick and stiff (12ply) and use tubes as well, so I think there about as indestructible as any tire could be. I wouldn't hesitate to put these on any older off-road oriented work truck that uses the older tall profile (100 series) type tires.
