I don't know if any 15's are available in a better rating, but I think if you can find some, it will really help!

We are about eight miles from the nearest "pavement" (recycled highway grindings haphazardly spread out over no base and full of pot holes) and another couple miles to the US highway. That's the long way to the city (60 miles) and the shorter way (40 miles) is about 30 miles of dirt and gravel.
My two pickups with 745/75R16(E) do okay except for an occasional nail.
A couple years ago one of the 15" alloys on the Suburban cracked and I got a set of 88-98 6 hole 16" and had the centers cut out before I realized that the backspacing was all wrong
So then I got some 15" steel rally wheels and another set of C range tires. We had been just driving it in the winter and now we have the jeep and will drive it even less.
What rating does something like a 31x10.50x15 come in ???
