Most of what's available is or seems to be aimed at the LT or SUV market, so they would be rated accordingly (I hope anyway), and you would be running four on the rear axle. I haven't done any comparisons on load ratings VS the usual 215 or 235 / 85 sizes.

I hear what you're saying, but still, an LT or "SUV" tire isn't a "D" or "E" rated "commercial use" tire, which is all I'm comfortable running on a dually. I suppose for the guys who just have a nice cruiser, that doesn't pull any real tow/haul duty, it'd be okay. These are the same guys who run passenger car tires on 16" wheels already. But for a lowered rig that's still expected to work once in a while, I think there's some significant safety factors that still need to be addressed.
Like I said, I still need to gross 15k every once in a while...an LT tire ain't gonna get me there. Which really sucks, because the concept is totally bad ass. I'd love to run a set.
