    Well I might be able to help.... I currently have two complete sets on wheels and tires for our vx. I will try to give you details.... more of opinions than tech data.

    1st set... 16x7.5 (oem zu) & Dunlop Mud 265/75 R16 (probably 6 ply std)
    2nd set.... 18x7 (oem zu) & Dunlop Max Traction Mud 275/65 R18 ( 9 or 10 ply)

    future set 275/70 R18 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R (9 or 10 ply)

    The 10 ply tires are designed for big Chevy like duellies, much heavier vehicles.
    I have put almost 50K on the set of 5 (2nd set), I had them balanced two weeks ago. Average tread depth was 15/32, barely any wear. I run about 40 psi on the street, drop down to 22 in the mountains.

    Sounds like the 10 ply might be the way to go for tread wear. 40psi? The 10 ply set I'm looking at go to 80psi...I figure they might ride a bit rough but they do look good!
