Good question, Chris. Both fit your 8-on-6-1/2 pattern, but it depends on your axles. If they’re 6K-rated, the # MXS69FR Load Range E, 3,420 lbs @ 80 psi is right. If you’re running 7K axles, step up to the # MXS79FR Load Range G, 4,080 lbs @ 110 psi for a bit more cushion under heavy loads.
Do you happen to know your axle rating from the tag? That’ll lock in the right pick.
