Have an '05 Ford F550 4x4 that we use around the farm hauling bales and as a delivery/tow rig for our seed business. Winter driving is primarily off road in mud , snow, ice, etc.. It gets around much better off road when the rear is singled out. Currently running 225/70R19.5 Goodyear G124's whic do OK, but really need something more agressive.

Any 19.5" tires that are Load Range F, G, or H that are more agressive than the G124's, and speed rated at least 75mph?

Plan to have a custom single rear wheel built, so that it tracks properly with the front.
To open up my tire options, I would consider another rim size/width, as long as I could match tire diameter to the 225/70R19.5's.

Am currently running Goodyear G124's 225/70R19.5, which that size is not on the current Goodyear website. They work OK but need something more agressive

Goodyear has come out with a Unisteel G171 LT in 8R19.5 that appears would work at least as good as the 124's, and probably better. Does anyone have any experience with this tire?

Really don't want to got to a larger diameter, but may have no choice.

Thanks
