Yup, that was their purpose back in the day, on 3/4T and 1T trucks... typically 6PR or 8PR, sometimes more. Check the maximum load ratings to be sure. As posted above, they don't air down well (to very low pressures) for a couple reasons -- they are often a stiff, heavy tire instead of a flotation tire. But mainly because many 16.5" rims (especially aftermarket) lack the "safety bead" that virtually all other rim sizes have.
