.....These are heavy-duty wheels/rims and 19.5 tires. Similar to what is used on commercial delivery trucks....

Did you mean to say 17.5" tires? That is the usual replacement rim for a Montana. It seems 19.5" would have issues with the top of the wheel well.

Looking at their website all I saw was 19.5 .

Weird. I didn't look at the website, I actually thought this was an ad at first, but I know several members are using 17.5" tires but I have never noticed anyone using 19.5" ones.

Upgrade 235/80R16 tires to commercial grade 19.5". Same 32" Diameter

It is actually a 19.5 wheel. Their CRUISER 67 WHEEL/TIRE CONVERSION - CONVERT 235/(80 OR 85)R16 TO 225 OR 245/70R19.5. The diameter is the same as 235 80R16's that I had on my Montana. The side wall is shorter - plus it gives the tire better stability when turning. The have either Continentals or Michelins. I have the Michelin 225/70R19.5 Pilot XZE. The outer diameter 32.2". There was maybe a 1/4" difference. The 19.5's fit perfect.

This isn't an ad...I am a real user that on our last trip had to replace all 4 tires.

##MARKETING## PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Boar Wheel brings you the Cruiser 67 as the perfect fit for your trailer with an eight bolt pattern. You can now protect and perfect your trailer, and precious cargo with 19.5 wheels and tires. Upgrade from 235/80R16 or 235/85R16 tires to commercial grade 19.5". With the same 32" outer diameter as a 235/85R16, there will be no trailer modifications to address. With 19.5’s you can expect an extended commercial tire life (some customers have attained well over 150,000 miles before replacement!), increased tow and load capacities (6,050 lbs. load capacity per wheel), and improved fuel economy when towing (many customers reporting a 1-2 mpg improvement). The Cruiser 67 is capable of carrying anything you can throw at it and then some. Its optional lug-centric (1/2” & 9/16” lug studs) or hub-centric (5/8” lug studs) design and 6,050-pound capacity enable the use of many tire options that are right for any load. This wheel will ensure you Get There, every time! (Center cap included!)

I learn something new every day. And just in time as one of my original wheels has a crack and needs to be replaced. I am definitely going to investigate this option.

I had Hercules installed after the original factory one blew (Ranier) when traveling. That was more than 3 years ago and thousands and thousands of miles ago too. I've been very pleased with mine. I did concrete curb skid one and the side wall had a slight tear. I did have it replaced with another tire even though the tire shop told me it was still OK. I did not want to take any chances and since I've had not a hint of issue at all. I've been very pleased. Tread is still good, wear is even, tires still look good. And all 4 are holding air at exactly 100 psi. I check them often now.

Here's the stats on mine as written on the actual tire:

Brand lightly here.

Plant codes molded into every dot certified tire will tell you where a tire was actually made and the name of the plant. That looks like a 2A which is in China.

Hey there,
I have had these for a year now. Over 7500 miles.....absolutely no problems. I keep them at 105psi.
They are really good in heavy rainfall.
Hope this helps.
