You can, Michael, and the # MXS59FR makes it easy. It’s a complete pre-mounted setup with the ST235/80R16 Load Range G Maxxis tire already bead balanced on a 16" aluminum wheel with lug pattern of 8 on 6-1/2". That means you won’t need to worry about separate valve stems or mounting - just bolt them on and you’re ready to roll. You’ll get noticeably better stability and cooler running temps than with your old Load Range E tires.
What are you usually hauling - equipment or livestock? That can affect how evenly your tread wears and how often you’ll want to rotate.
