Being that you have the "Worlds Heaviest F-body" that would be my choice in the 8 ply. If they have a 10 ply "E" rating it would be better

Check this out Mikey, I have seen them in a "T" speed rating which is 118 mph. In the pic I had 35 lbs air and they were not all squished down llike the 165's.
