Just thought I would share my story. I am running stock 16 inch wheels. I could never find 5 alike. I have 2-5 inch wide,2-4.5 inch wide, and 1-4inch wide. I wanted to find good running modern tires. After talking with Firestone, Goodyear and Les Schwab's The only place that would help me was Les Schwabs. I anded up with 215/85R16. They fit fine on the 5 and 4.5 rims. The 4 is a little narrow but it's the spare. They are 29.5 inch diameter. They told me this is a stock size as most pickup truck dulleys use them. This is going to be a daily driver. My cost for 5 was 1200.00. vs 2000.00 for Coker or Diamond tires. These have a 60,000 mile warrantee.

Did you check Coker and Diamond companies. They are the only two that I know of in the US.

good to know that they fit both the 5 and 4.5 inch wide wheels! As I am trying to put together a complete set for my truck
