You can, Chris, and it’s a smart move. The radial construction on # MXS59FR runs cooler than bias, so you’ll notice a smoother ride and longer tread life.
Just confirm you’ve got fender/brace clearance for the ~30.7" diameter of these ST235/80R16, Load Range G (4,080 lbs @ 110 psi) tires on the 8 on 6-1/2 Eagle aluminum wheel.
What type of car hauler do you have?
