I found a set of brand new 8R22.5's. They are Westlake brand model CR970 Highway tread.

I have found six 8R22.5 Westlake CR970's. They are about 120 days out and cost 224.91 each with $20.00 FET plus tax and state fee. For all six mounted, new stems and tax in is $1627.15. I would need half up front to order. I'm sorry it took this long to get back to you. I have to make the order as soon as possible to get them in the next container load.
So given the price and a 4 month wait I am now trying to decide if 9R22.5's would be a wiser decision in case of future repairs or blowouts requiring a new tire. The 9's are a common enough tire and not much more in price I think. 2 days away rather than 120. So torn on what I should do.
